Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolJ Reed is a Staff Incident Operations Manager and resilience specialist with 15 years of experience helping organizations anticipate, respond to, and learn from operational crises. He blends deep technical pedigree in build/release and SRE work with a Master’s in Human Factors and System Safety to translate messy socio-technical realities into actionable improvements from team-level tactics to C-suite strategy. As a practitioner and founder (Spective Coherence, REdeploy) he’s helped shape industry conversations on engineering resilience and led post-incident programs at Netflix and Chime that turn incidents into organizational learning. He’s equally comfortable in the fire lane managing live incidents as he is designing multi-quarter transformations to improve reliability and delivery.

Based in San Francisco, he combines hands-on incident leadership with a knack for making complex system safety concepts usable for diverse stakeholders.
