Summary
🤩
Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolRaymond De Jong is a seasoned infrastructure and cloud-native leader based in Switzerland, currently serving as Field CTO EMEA for Isovalent at Cisco with a focus on eBPF-powered networking, observability, and security for Kubernetes at enterprise scale. Over a 20+-year technical career he evolved from system administration and virtualization specialist roles into solutions architecture and customer-facing senior technical product leadership at VMware and Isovalent. He combines deep hands-on experience with VMware vSphere/NSX integrations, automation (Ansible, Terraform, SaltStack) and modern eBPF-enabled observability to help customers operate hybrid cloud and on-prem Kubernetes reliably. Known for bridging product strategy and field adoption, he routinely translates complex network/security requirements into operational designs and automation. He brings a pragmatic, service-oriented approach honed in professional services and large government projects, and often mentors teams on migrating legacy workloads to cloud-native platforms. A practical technologist who still values low-level operational detail, he excels at making advanced networking and security features consumable for enterprise operators.
