"Leading Professional Services is an exciting opportunity to work with an incredibly talented team of cloud, DevOps, and AI professionals," said Glenn Grant. "The advancement of AI technologies, coupled with our strong partnership with AWS, presents huge opportunities for our customers to achieve things they couldn’t before with tools on AWS. It's exciting to be at the forefront of this industry, helping our customers move AI from experimentation to actual workloads on AWS."
As SVP of Professional Services, Grant will lead the team in implementing cutting-edge solutions and best practices to support Mission's growing customer base. He will focus on scaling the professional services organization to meet the increasing demand for AI and cloud services. "We're taking what we've learned over the last few years, especially in AI, machine learning, and data operations, and up leveling our already rock-solid cloud and DevOps offerings," Grant explained.
