Summary
Ynema Mangum is an IT Social Computing Architect and a key strategist to a cross-
organizational effort to reduce the complexity and improve the user experience of
enterprise social collaboration tools at HP. She was also a cloud computing solutions
architect at HP, with a focus on private IT cloud computing for emerging business and
existing IT applications.
Prior to HP, Y was a product line manager for cloud computing at Sun Microsystems with a
focus on the ecosystem and the requirements for common subsystems of the Sun Cloud.
Besides extensive product management experience at Sun and BMC Software, Y also has deep
roots in Web 2.0 and thought leadership, with experience creating and incorporating social
media into traditional marketing strategies. She provides an invaluable hybrid mix of
strategist, product manager and product marketer with an unbendable passion for the user
experience. As an added bonus, she is certified in ITIL v3 best practices for IT.
Ynema was a panelist at SxSWi, Interactive Austin, and has produced over 100 podcasts
(all downloadable on iTunes) on all kinds of technology topics. She has contributed to
several books as well as the online, living CloudBook (see http://www.cloudbook.net/). In
addition, she is an active member of the Enterprise 2.0 Adoption Council, the Microsoft
Business Division Advisory Council (MBDAC), and the Microsoft Office Division Advisory
Council (MODAC)..
Ynema is a change agent. She considers herself a determined influencer and a connector
whose collaborative nature ensures success in introducing new concepts and services into
the mainstream -- even in the most complex environments. She thrives on doing what seems
to be impossible, and enjoys taking calculated risks in her personal life -- snowboarding,
skiing, SCUBA diving or wake boarding when the season is right.

IT Social Computing Architect
Hewlett-Packard
Ynema's contributions with social media and collaboration platforms have made a
significant impact to the productivity or our project teams. The improvement has been
realized by all participants in the reduction of our communications overhead, improved
work product deliverables and reduced time to completion. We can not imagine going back to
the previous legacy platforms. Her guidance is taking us to the Work Place Of Tomorrow!

Solutions Architect - Cloud Computing
Hewlett-Packard
Ynema is simply amazing - a force to be reckoned with and one of those rare people you
meet in your career who have it all together. Her knowledge of cloud computing is
unsurpassed and, based on more than just theory, she comes up with creative, practical
solutions to real problems. Somehow she manages to get things done while keeping up with
technology developments, and on top of that she is just fun to work with! April 20, 2010
3rd Kim A., Service Manager, Hewlett-Packard
managed Ynema at Hewlett-Packard
Product Line Manager, Cloud Computing
Sun Microsystems
As a technical writer, the more I know about my target audience the better I will be
able to create documentation that meets their needs. One of the things that I most
appreciate about working on a product with Ynema as the product line manager is that she
has not only thoroughly researched the target audience, but that she documents well what
she has learned. She has personalized my audience and provided in depth information about
why they would use the product and what specific tasks they would use the product for.
When she requests documentation for our product, I can meet with her and get good detailed
answers to questions about the purpose of the document and the expected outcomes. I
consider Ynema to be one of the best product line managers that I have worked with during
my 13 years at Sun. August 18, 2009
3rd Chris K., Senior Technical Writer, Sun
worked directly with Ynema at Sun Microsystems
Working with Y (as we call her) has been a pleasure. She is a great person and a
meticulous worker. I have found her to be very knowledgeable in Cloud Computing, Social
Media, Search Engine Optimization among other things. I have always found something useful
to take away from my conversations with Y. I have learned a lot about product management
from her as well. July 20, 2009
3rd Ratnadeep B., Product Manager, Cloud Computing Division, Sun Microsystems
worked directly with Ynema at Sun Microsystems
It has been a pleasure to work with Ynema in Sun's Cloud Product Marketing team. Next to
being an outstanding outbound marketing talent, Ynema has proven to have the right balance
between technical skills and the ability to make strategic decisions and understand the
customers' needs in product development.
Ynema is one of the few individuals who truly understand the value of cloud computing for
end users. She's also a respected micro-blogger and at any time will try to find the
"human" aspect in her work. July 17, 2009
3rd Tom L., Product Manager for Cloud Computing, Sun Microsystems
worked directly with Ynema at Sun Microsystems
Ynema is a great communicator and has deep subject matter expertise As an example, her
recent (sorry, Sun Confidential) paper on Cloud Computing markets is one of the most
thoughtful I have seen in the last 4 years. It demonstrates sophistication in
understanding of the existing market conditions, participants, partnering opportunities,
segmentation, and addressable business opportunities. March 10, 2009

is wonderful to work with on complex product rollouts. Sun Microsystems has a great people
recruitment system to have picked up Ynema. March 13, 2009

ICON IT, Clearpoint IT, Schlumberger, Aerotech, BMC Software
worked with Ynema at BMC Software, Inc.
Ynema is an amazing person. Full of ideas. energy, determination, and innovation. She is
never willing to do things by the half. As producer of TalkBMC, she always worked with me,
encouraged me, and made everything I did and do there so much better. TalkBMC is a hugely
better "place" because of Ynema's efforts. She is never afraid of new things, and always
on the bleeding edge of various technical / social trends, especially as they relate to
business. She is not flighty or frivolous as some who are "out there" on such edges are:
she is open. March 27, 2008
3rd Steve C., Manager, R&D Support, The Americas, BMC Software
worked with Ynema at BMC Software, Inc.
Ynema is one of the most dedicated, focused, and outstanding leaders I have had the
pleasure to work with. She is willing to take on any challenge, learn, and inspires others
to participate and collaborate. She is extremely creative and always finds solutions to
complex issues and solicits others to collaborate and help. It was an absolute pleasure
working with Ynema while at BMC and I recommend her highly for any creative or business
challenge. January 11, 2008
3rd Mike S., Director Web Strategy & Operations, BMC Software
managed Ynema at BMC Software, ITIL Certified
Ynema is one of those people who seeks the leading edge but has the good sense and
business savvy to figure out the inner workings of a technology choice before making a
decision. She's fun to work with and makes me better at what I do by instilling confidence
and offering fresh ideas constantly. January 19, 2007
3rd Anne G., Information developer, BMC Software
worked with Ynema at BMC Software, Inc.
I worked with Y while at BMC and at RedMonk. She was always easy to work with, relaxed
(a big plus in my book), and professional. Her experience with running and doing blogs and
podcasts for a public company (BMC) make her invaluable in this day and age for anyone
wanting to jump on the Cluetrain. December 5, 2006
3rd Michael C.,
Senior Product Developer, BMC Software

BMC Software, Inc.

Ynema is one of the best I know at getting the job done. Y is solid at researching a
project and executing, always delivering a thorough, complete task on time and within
budget. Y brings solutions and recommendations to problems, not just problems. One of Y's
strengths is to look at a situation and identifing the options for moving forward. Y is a
team player and I'd love to work with Y in the future if opportunities surface. May 9,
2008
3rd Lori M., Sr Manager, Product Management, BMC Software
managed Ynema at BMC Software, Inc.
I have only worked closely with Ynema in the last year but that year has given me high
respect for Ynema and what she can accomplish. She is highly intelligent and she goes
after the goal as nobody I have ever seen before. She is 100% focused at the end result
but does not forget to have the details in place. As the producer of talk.bmc.com Ynems is
just outstanding. She is on here way August 8, 2006
3rd Gitte C., eBusiness Globalization - Manager, BMC Software, Inc.
