Simone Bennett

With 25+ years in tech, I’ve navigated the realms of on prem and cloud infrastructure, seen the emergence of DevOps, platform engineering and cloud and I'm still grateful that I accidently ended up in this industry. What a ride. As Principal Consultant & Product Owner at Arkahna, I lead the Azure Landing Zone initiative—creating scalable, Cloud Adoption Framework-aligned landing zone product that is fast to deploy, ready for production and built for the future.

I'm passionate about breaking down barriers into tech, and am always looking to support initiatives that champion non-traditional pathways into the industry. Diversity is more than gender after all! If you're looking for a speaker or volunteer for an initiative, I’d love to be involved—let's connect!
