Top SchoolEmily Kausalik-Whittle is a client platform engineering manager at Jamf with 11 years of experience building Mac-focused IT programs, leading teams, and translating customer and community needs into product and operational improvements. Based in Austin, she combines deep technical expertise in Apple enterprise management and Jamf ecosystems with nonprofit leadership as co-chair and co-founder of the Mac Admins Foundation, helping grow and preserve the global Mac Admins community.

Outside work she blends creative hobbies (knitting, collecting, film criticism) with a punk-rock ethos, reflecting a pragmatic, people-first style that prioritizes employee and user experience.
