Top SchoolFederico Lucifredi is a seasoned product management director with 26 years building and scaling open-source storage and cloud platforms, currently leading Ceph storage products for IBM and Red Hat.

Based in Boston, he also advises enterprise clients on open-source strategy and combines academic teaching and MIT/Harvard executive training with hands-on R&D leadership in startups.
