About
Larnelle is a cloud transformation and architecture leader with over a decade of enterprise experience, most of it at one of the world's largest technology consultancies. There he rose from infrastructure and systems work to lead cloud migration and architecture for large organizations across the New York metro.
His work covers the full arc of a migration — assessing the current estate, designing the target architecture, planning each wave of the move, and standing up the operations that keep it running. He came up close to the metal, from a network-infrastructure internship consolidating a Greater New York data center to systems administration at Rutgers, so his cloud designs account for what actually happens below the abstraction layer.
Larnelle is also the Founder of Cobham Tech and a Co-founder of Cobham Consulting Group, where he leads Cloud & Infrastructure engagements as one of two principals.
