Summary
Melissa Greene is a seasoned Developer Relations leader with 11+ years in IT and a deep background in storage, virtualization, and business continuity, now shaping developer and community strategy at IBM. She scaled HashiCorp’s community from a handful of advocates to a global, multilingual program—launching ambassador programs, forums, swag stores, and conference initiatives—while using data to measure impact and influence product direction. A practiced communicator and podcaster, she co-hosts tech shows that blend technical insight with engaging storytelling, and she advises cross-functional teams on practitioner-focused messaging. Based in Seattle, she pairs hands-on systems engineering experience from Dell EMC with a curiosity for AI and robotics, and brings an unusual mix of booth-floor technical advocacy and executive-level community building.
