Building on its commitment to create a superior experience for
customers, WSO2 today announced the addition of two vice presidents to
its leadership team. Jackie Wheeler, WSO2 president of technical
content, brings more than two decades of expertise in technical
documentation, online help, and training for enterprise software
companies, such as MuleSoft, Ariba and Autodesk. Gunasiri Perera, WSO2
vice president of delivery, brings more than 15 years of global IT
delivery and support experience, with deep insight into international
corporate responsibilities. Collectively, they will focus on enhancing
the technical support, documentation, training and delivery services
around WSO2’s award-winning cloud
and enterprise
middleware platforms.
“From the beginning, we have focused on delivering a comprehensive,
modular middleware platform that enables enterprises to fast-track their
innovation and capitalize on new market opportunities as they emerge,”
said Dr. Sanjiva Weerawarana, WSO2 founder and CEO. “We are thrilled to
have Gunasiri and Jackie join us in further enabling IT organizations to
streamline their efforts. Their deep expertise in technical content,
service and support will be invaluable in contributing to the IT success
of our customers worldwide.”
Capturing and Sharing Knowledge
As vice president of technical content, Jackie Wheeler brings to WSO2
deep experience in documenting software products and building
documentation sets and teams from scratch. She also specializes in
enterprise software, open source, API documentation, system
administrator documentation, end-user documentation, online help, and
training.
Prior to WSO2, Jackie held positions as director of technical
publications at NICE Systems and at MuleSoft, Inc. where she was a
founding member of the technical publications group. At MuleSoft, she
contributed to its developer blog, screencasts and podcasts, and
marketing and sales efforts in addition to writing the company’s
documentation. Previously Jackie also served as director of knowledge
management at NorthStar, Inc. where she founded the documentation and
training group. She also has served as a senior technical writer at
Ariba, a writing manager and senior technical writer at Autodesk, and a
technical writer at Strategic Mapping, Inc. and Pro/Tem Software.
“Too often the cost and complexity of traditional middleware solutions
have hindered IT organizations’ ability to act on new opportunities
provided by the cloud, mobile computing and social media,” Jackie
observed. “WSO2 helps clear these hurdles through its uniquely
pre-integrated middleware, which can be deployed on servers and in the
cloud. With our expanded focus on technical content, we will help users
quickly unlock WSO2’s powerful capabilities and meet their IT goals.”
Expanding Global Service and Support
As vice president of delivery, Gunasiri Perera spearheads the delivery
of support and services to global customers as well as to the broader
WSO2 user community. He also works closely with the business team to use
delivery excellence to support pre-sales and post-sales efforts.
Prior WSO2, Gunasiri served in senior management roles for global
offshore development companies in Europe, United Arab Emirates, and Sri
Lanka, providing these international clients with large-scale enterprise
resource planning (ERP) project implementation, passenger service system
(PSS) project implementation and product management, pre-sales,
consulting and support. He began his career at IFS as a software
engineer contributing to the design and development of its new developer
framework in service-oriented architecture, as well as ERP application
design and development for mobile and J2EE Web technologies with an
Oracle backend. Gunasiri has been a guest lecturer of MBA programs at
the Asia Pacific Institute of Information Technology (APIIT), Graduate
School of Management in Malaysia. He also has served as a panel chairman
of MBA viva interviews and a mentor for computer science and engineering
students at the University of Moratuwa, Sri Lanka. He is a chartered
engineer in IT by profession and also an ICT committee member of
Institute of Engineers Sri Lanka (IESL).
“Increasingly, Global 1000 companies are turning to WSO2’s middleware to
innovate new business models, whether it’s monetizing their APIs or
extending their business processes to partners and suppliers via the
cloud,” Gunasiri noted. “I am excited to join the WSO2 team in providing
the world-class services and support to ensure these customers’ success
as they blaze new trails in IT.”
