Summary
Jeff Mazar is an OEM and embedded account leader with 14+ years in enterprise software and a 20-year track record developing strategic partnerships across cloud, virtualization, Kubernetes, storage, and data center domains. Currently driving SUSE’s embedded and OEM strategy from Austin, he combines C-suite relationship building with cross-functional technical collaboration to deliver AI-augmented, security-first solutions for Fortune 100 customers. Known for consistently exceeding multi-million dollar targets, Jeff has a history of turning early design wins into scalable OEM deployments at companies like McAfee, Avnet, and Network Elites. He pairs a hunter’s drive with hands-on solution architecture knowledge—spanning SLES, Rancher, Longhorn, edge Kubernetes, and adaptive security—to help customers operationalize AI and hybrid-cloud initiatives. Not obvious from the title: he often acts as a virtual CIO, running quarterly strategy reviews and aligning product, engineering, and legal teams to convert complex requirements into profitable, production-ready outcomes.
