Summary
Mark Craig is a pragmatic cloud and SRE leader with nine years in enterprise IT and a decade of entrepreneurial experience, now serving as Deputy Director of Cloud Services & Engineering at GlobalFoundries. He has a proven record of scaling cloud platforms and reliability practices—establishing an SRE organization that cut MTTR by 70% and raised availability to 99.95%—and has driven CI/CD, observability, and automated quality strategies across global teams. Equally comfortable with P&L and product decisions, he reduced infrastructure costs while enabling multi‑region Kubernetes platforms and self‑service developer portals. A founder of hardware and software ventures, he blends startup grit with corporate delivery discipline and favors simple principles, OKRs, and minimal process to unlock innovation. Mark’s technical curiosity spans low‑level languages and systems (from Assembly and C/C++ to JavaScript) and he’s actively sharpening hands‑on skills in Python and Git to stay close to engineering practice. He leads through empathy and clear objectives, believing people’s experience with leaders outlives memories of products.
