Lisa Hornschemeier: A woman’s leadership journey from pre-med to DevOps champion

Lisa Hornschemeier is the Vice President of Software Engineering for Oracle Cloud Infrastructure at Oracle. She is an experienced engineering leader with a successful history at some of the world’s largest companies, including GE Aviation, Microsoft, and Oracle.

She originally planned to use her passion for math and science to become a doctor. That changed when she fell in love with a Java class at Miami University. She has since become a champion for DevOps as a guiding principle for business operations to achieve results that matter. She is dedicated to finding “how the company wants to differentiate itself and where its super powers are based on the talent we have and the products we’re developing.”

Being a customer-centric engineering leader is just one of her roles. She is also a mother striving to find the perfect balance between family and business. What is her secret

In the season one finale of Wolfed, Hornschemeier joins host Chris Cohen to discuss:

Her thrilling career journey, from pre-med student at Miami University to leadership roles at GE, Microsoft, and Oracle.
The leadership philosophy behind her team’s customer-centric approach to product development.
The ideals versus business realities of DevOps.
How to overcome unconscious bias in the workplace through grassroots efforts.
