Roz Roseboro

Principal Analyst – Cloud Infrastructure & Management at Heavy Reading

Roz has more than 20 years' experience in market research, marketing and product management. Her research focuses on how innovation and change impact the hardware and software solutions used to deliver cloud services and the management of that infrastructure. The growing influence of open source on the development process is a key point of emphasis for her.
