Dies Köper is an experienced engineering leader and platform strategist with over two decades of hands-on experience delivering cloud, middleware and developer platform solutions in heavily regulated environments. As Associate Director and Head of Developer Platforms at Macquarie Group he leads 48 engineers across five teams to drive self-service, automation and risk reduction for banking-grade cloud adoption. A long-time open source advocate and committer in projects like Cloud Foundry, Apache Deltacloud and GlassFish, he blends product thinking with deep technical chops—from writing drivers and CLIs to shaping cloud API standards. He has repeatedly translated user data into product roadmaps (e.g., growing CLI usage through localization and package support) and has a track record of launching cross-company PaaS and automation products at scale. Certified PMI-ACP and PMP, he pairs formal delivery discipline with a bias for hands-on problem solving and continuous upskilling. Pronounced “Dees” (short for Diederik), he brings a rare mix of developer credibility, standards-level influence and pragmatic product leadership.
