Kim McMahon

Well-known in the open source and cloud native ecosystem as an expert in product-led growth strategies, developer marketing, open source marketing, and growing healthy and productive communities.

With thoughtful nurturing, your open source project and tech community can grow from watchers and casual participants to contributors, and the ultimate - fans, advocates, and community leaders.

Somewhere in this path are your future customers. Yes, future customers, and if you do it in a thoughtful manner you have given them the tools and information to make that decision for themselves. Which keeps them coming back to your community to learn, participate, and lead.

My career has been spent in open source, cloud native, and high-performance computing. Focusing on marketing and community, I have led organizations, created strategic plans and messaging, grew revenue, implemented programs, and drove activities that supported the goals of the organization. I am the “marketer” of open source and can grow healthy and productive communities.

Knowing what to say, how to say it, where to share it, and bringing all elements together in a cohesive, yet efficient manner - that’s the magic.

I believe in a holistic approach to marketing; that messaging aligns with your strengths, go-to-market activities interact and build upon each other, and understanding our partner's and customer’s business issues and giving them what will drive their business will deliver success.
