In his new role, Jason will leverage his deep expertise to help
clients embrace digital transformation confidently and securely. By
leveraging Rancher Government’s advanced Kubernetes management
platform, defense agencies can deploy secure, scalable, resilient,
and interoperable applications across any platform from the data
center, to any cloud service provider and out to the tactical edge.
Most recently, Motte served as the U.S. Air Force and U.S. Space
Force Team Director at Elastic.
Tricia Fitzmaurice, Vice President of Sales at Rancher
Government, emphasized the strategic importance of Jason's role,
"Jason’s arrival is pivotal as we expand our efforts to support the
government’s continued digital evolution. His understanding of the
nuanced needs of federal cyber operations will be key in delivering
solutions that not only secure but also enhance operational
capabilities to ensure mission success."
Motte joins Rancher Government during a period of significant
growth for the company as government customers are increasingly
looking to Rancher to help them modernize their legacy IT
infrastructures to break free from expensive, proprietary vertical
stacks that limit innovation and transition to more modern,
interoperable, open source, container and Kubernetes
technologies.
"I am thrilled to join Rancher Government and help further our
mission to transform government IT infrastructures,” said Motte.
“Our focus on secure, open source, container-based applications
orchestrated with Kubernetes offers an unprecedented opportunity to
advance the government's digital capabilities, ensuring they are
agile, secure, and ready to meet tomorrow’s challenges today."
On a personal note, Jason has been happily married to his wife
Angela for 22 years, and they are proud parents of four sons. When
not involved in his duties at work and as a dad, Jason enjoys
playing golf— a passion that dates back to his first job running
golf carts at a local course, which eventually led to him becoming
a PGA professional and an assistant pro, before embarking on his
22-year career in the Air Force.
