🧑💼 Who’s Chris Riley?
In his own words, a bad-coder-turned-technology-advocate! As the Sr. Manager of Developer Relations at Hubspot, he understands the challenges and needs of modern engineers, as well as how technology fits into the business goals of companies in a demanding high-tech world.
For years, Chris has been selling to, designing for, and supporting software developers. He started his career as a software dev himself, but soon realized his passion was helping external developers succeed at building their own solutions.
He went from a heads-down developer for a SDK shipped on CD-roms, to dabbling in all aspects of go-to-market for software developers including product management, product marketing, support and sales. All of these are the essence of what has become developer relations (DevRel).
