As director of technical services at Chef, Simon Fisher has built and retained a high-performing team of pre-sales solutions architects and post-sales customer architects and consultants. By maintaining cohesion across these disciplines, he ensures the right people are equipped with the right tools to get the technical win, and subsequently drive the adoption of Chef’s DevSecOps product set, delivering business value to Chef’s customers.

Fisher partners with sales and marketing leadership to ensure they are aligned on strategy at a regional and individual account level, driving up growth and retention numbers. When product issues or gaps arise, he works with product leadership to ensure customers are represented, and they ultimately deliver on their commitments and roadmap.

From a technology standpoint, Fisher’s main areas of interest are DevSecOps, security, compliance and automation solutions.
