Phil Grainger
Phil has over 20 years experience of DB2, starting work all those years ago in 1987 with DB2 Version 1.2, which unfortunately means he cannot claim to have worked on EVERY version of DB2 - since then though he has worked with all versions from V1.2 to DB2 9.
From his beginnings as a DB2 DBA for one of the largest users of DB2 at that time in the UK, through his time at PLATINUM technology and including his present role as Senior Principal Product Manager for CAs line of DB2 solutions, Phil has always been a keen supporter of user groups and is a regular speaker at both CA sponsored and independent events, as well as having been the CA representative on the European IDUG Planning Committee for the past 10 years.
As an advocate and subject matter expert for DB2 itself, Phil has (so far) been invited to present at 36 separate IDUG conferences – culminating in top 10 speaker rankings for the last few years.
Phils focus as Senior Principal Product Manager for DB2 tools at CA has been both with an international view as to the usage of DB2 as well as helping to guide the development of CAs extensive range of DB2 solutions.
In addition, Phil is a regular contributor to the IDUG sponsored DB2-L discussion list
