Ynema Mangum is a product line manager for cloud computing at Sun Microsystems. Her role is to help shape the confluence of people and cloud computing.
Y was a panelist at SxSWi 2008, Interactive Austin 2008, and has produced over 100 podcasts on all kinds of technology topics. She contributed to the book PR 2.0: New Media, New Tools, New Audiences by Deirdre Breakenridge published by FT Press in 2008 and is on the FG2 Social Web Advisory Panel. She loves the BarCamp scene, and you recently could have found her at CloudCamp SV.
Ynema is a change agent. She considers herself a quiet influencer and a connector whose collaborative nature ensures success in introducing new concepts and services into the mainstream -- even in the most complex environments. She thrives doing what seems to be impossible, and enjoys taking calculated risks in her personal life -- snowboarding, skiing, SCUBA diving or wake boarding when the season is right. She is certified in ITIL v3 best practices and is proud to have sponsored the Austin Social Media Club.
