About James Defty

I'm a cloud sales specialist with a passion for helping customers leverage cloud-based services to focus on delivering value to their customers through technolgy solutions. I believe the cloud is truly transformational and enables businesses to be more innovative and focus on things that give them a competitive advantage in a constantly changing, highly competitive landscape. The the rate of change is increasing like never before due to disruptive technologies like the cloud, which provides the ability for innovators / builders to quickly take an idea from concept to reality with a small investment, and disrupt established organizations in any industry. I've helped SMB, Mid-Market, and Enterprise organizations to adopt and mature a culture of innovation and experimentation through the use of Agile, DevOps, and cloud-based solutions, across a range of industries including Financial Services / Banking, ISVs, Retail, Manufacturing, Insurance, Healthcare, Automotive, Media & Entertainment, and Telecom. I am an AWS Certified Solution Architect (Associate) and have experience selling Cloud Migrations, Data Center Consolidation, DevOps, Agile, APIs, Microservices, Serverless, Application Modernization, Big Data, Analytics, Mobile, IoT, ITIL, SDLC, Artificial Intelligence & Machine Learning. When I'm not working, I enjoy spending time with my wife and son, and activities like skiing, cycling, motorsports, tennis and exploring the great outdoors!
