Zoë Slattery

I am a successful technology professional with over twenty years experience in the industry; in IBM I held a variety of roles ranging from technical to senior management.My principal interest whilst at IBM was building technical communities and teams, I am a passionate supporter of Open Source software. The career achievements I am most proud of are being elected a member of the Apache Software Foundation and persuading IBM to allow developer communities to use their premier London marketing location at weekends.
