San Francisco, CA (PRWEB) June 17, 2015 -- Scalr, the leading enterprise cloud management platform, today announced that Chris C. Kemp has joined its board of directors. Kemp co-founded OpenStack, the leading open source cloud operating system when he served as the CTO of NASA.
“Chris is one of the pioneers of cloud computing and an experienced entrepreneur,” said Sebastian Stadil, founder and CEO of Scalr. “Chris’ experience working with some of the largest and earliest adopters of cloud technology will provide invaluable strategic insight to Scalr.”
