Joyent, an open cloud infrastructure as a service company, announced it has named Angela Fong as the company’s new vice president of engineering.

Fong initially joined Joyent in February 2015 to help develop and roll out the open cloud offering Triton. Earlier, she worked at Oracle before becoming director of engineering at newScale Inc., an innovative cloud start up, which was acquired by Cisco in 2011. During her three-year tenure at Cisco, Fong oversaw major engineering operations and managed releases for all product lines for the company’s cloud services and management group.

“I have long believed that the CTO and the VP of engineering should be a team that together fosters innovation,” said Bryan Cantrill, Joyent’s chief technical officer. “Working with Angela over the past three years has been a career highlight for me. She’s a terrific, detail-oriented technologist with the proven ability to effectively lead large, complicated efforts comprised of many people, technologies and geographies.”

Fong has a B.S. in industrial engineering from the University of Hong Kong, as well as M.Sc. in information systems from the London School of Economics.
