Your Supermarket knows more about you than your Doctor

December 21, 2016 Matt Watts Innovating

About Matt Watts – Chief Evangelist

Matt Watts - Director, Technology and Strategy EMEA at NetApp

I’m an ambivert and an engineer, it’s taken a lot of different experiences in order for me to realise that this is the most appropriate description for who I am though.

I’ve always had a lot to say, I think being an engineer means I’m constantly looking for solutions to problems or analysing things to see how they could be done better, or sometimes just wondering why someone made a particular decision on how to build something.

Then I want to chat about it.

I work closely with the Office of the CTO, Product Operations and Marketing teams at NetApp, but I spend most of my time at events or with businesses articulating NetApp’s Strategy and the business value of IT.

This is my personal blog and does not necessarily represent the views of my employer.
