Senior🎓
Top SchoolRob Horstmann is an IT manager with nearly a decade of formal IT leadership experience and a 20+ year track record managing datacenter, cloud, and corporate IT operations across Seattle-area companies. He builds engaged, cross-functional teams and uses Agile practices and Jira to align individual strengths with strategic projects while avoiding single points of failure. Rob has repeatedly driven significant cost savings—negotiating contracts and shifting workloads between AWS and on-prem colocation to cut cloud spend by large margins and save the business hundreds of thousands over multi-year periods. He blends hands-on infrastructure expertise (Cisco UCS, VMware, NetApp, AWS) with vendor management, budgeting, and disaster recovery planning to deliver resilient, cost-effective systems. Colleagues value his pragmatic focus on ROI and his habit of pairing data-driven decisions with relationship-building to find the best technical and commercial solutions.
