Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolRichard Taylor is a principal product leader with 20+ years of experience building developer platforms and security-focused cloud services, currently leading Kubernetes workload security at Microsoft Azure. He combines deep customer empathy and pragmatic judgment to deliver platforms that let Kubernetes workloads securely consume identities, policies, and secrets across clouds and even offline clusters. A hands-on technologist comfortable from assembly to cloud architecture, he has repeatedly shipped developer SDKs, APIs and platform features that materially improve onboarding and ecosystem growth. He’s known for thoughtful people leadership—hiring diverse teams, mentoring engineers toward their strengths, and running startup-style discovery inside large organizations. Beyond tech, he brings a broad perspective from charity trustee roles and a Cambridge background in mathematics and computer science. Colleagues describe him as unusually curious about real user jobs-to-be-done and adept at turning that insight into pragmatic, widely adopted products.
