Summary
John Call is a Solution Architect at Red Hat with 11+ years of experience bridging cloud, storage, networking, virtualization and Linux to remove technical barriers and drive revenue in the public sector. He has a proven track record of translating complex technical capabilities into customer success—including landing the first $1M+ California contract in 2015, growing storage and virtualization attainment 800% from 2017–2019, and leading a deal that renewed to $6M. Comfortable both in the field and on stage (a customer joined him at Red Hat Summit 2023), he combines hands-on problem solving with quota-driven sales engineering. A former IBM sales engineer and university systems administrator, he pairs deep operational experience with strategic communication skills (MA in Communications). Based in Pleasant Grove, Utah, he’s equally likely to be troubleshooting clusters or scuba diving with his family, reflecting a blend of technical curiosity and grounded priorities.
