Summary
Rupert Broad is a Senior Cloud Engineer based in The Hague with over 20 years of hands-on experience architecting and operating enterprise infrastructure across AWS, VMware and Microsoft ecosystems. He has a rare blend of deep systems engineering roots and modern DevOps/Platform leadership—designing IaC-driven cloud platforms, consolidating CI/CD landscapes, and migrating critical workloads into team-owned AWS accounts. Rupert has led geographically distributed teams and multi-team consolidation projects (30+ teams at Ohpen) while also running his own consultancy, showing both strategic vision and practical delivery. He’s certified across AWS, VMware and multiple Microsoft tracks and is known for turning complex business requirements into auditable, automated operational models that reduce cost and risk. An unexpected strength is his continuity from legacy Novell/NetWare and Windows-era migrations through to immutable cloud-native patterns, giving him unique perspective on long-term operational resilience.
