Summary
Michael Thirion is a globally-minded IT solution architect and public relations leader with over 15 years’ experience helping organizations modernize and accelerate hybrid-cloud adoption. At Red Hat he’s blended deep middleware and cloud-native expertise with customer-facing pre-sales work to drive technical wins, shape product roadmaps, and shorten time-to-value across EMEA. He combines hands-on knowledge of OpenShift, operators, service mesh, and CI/CD pipelines with a talent for people enablement—running workshops, proofs of value, and sales initiatives that translate technical capability into business outcomes. As Vice President of Public Relations for his Toastmasters district he hones strategic communication and community growth skills that complement his technical leadership. Outside of work he volunteers as a Red Cross rescuer, reflecting a calm, service-oriented approach under pressure. Fluent in bridging technical detail and clear narrative, he’s equally comfortable shaping architecture decisions and telling the story that helps customers adopt them.
