Cecile Kellam

Cecile is a data whisperer, AI realist, and Senior Solutions Architect at NetApp who helps customers turn their data chaos into AI clarity. She’s not here to sell you AI snake oil—she’s here to help you actually make it work. Whether it’s data stuck in silos, security nightmares, or cloud confusion, Cecile builds intelligent data infrastructures that make AI projects go from “ugh” to “aha!” She’s spent years wrangling the cloud portfolio and now spends her days helping customers go from AI promises to AI in production. HPC, RAG, inferencing, hybrid cloud? Bring it on. If your data lives on-prem, in the cloud, or somewhere in between, she’ll make sure it’s ready for innovation. Cecile is also a NetApp A-Team technical advisor, a voice for customers on the Technical Advisory Board, and a proud member of the Women in Tech Steering Committee. When she’s not solving AI challenges, she’s a full-time mom, part-time plant whisperer, animal lover, and globe-trotter who’s always planning her next adventure.
