Lena Hall

Lena Hall leads developer and AI work at Akamai. She previously led developer experience for North America at AWS and big-data developer relations at Microsoft, bringing a background in cloud systems to practical AI adoption.

Her work emphasizes the engineering around models: evaluation, infrastructure and the judgment needed to choose useful problems. She argues that widely available coding agents make direct customer understanding and clear product claims more valuable, especially when teams can build faster than they can decide what matters.
