SUSE Ascendant: Seizing the Digital Sovereignty Moment

Broadcasting live from the electric show floor at SUSECON in Prague, Techstrong Group’s Alan Shimel sits down with SUSE CMO Margaret Dawson to explore the undeniable, ascendant energy sweeping through the open-source pioneer. Dawson reveals how SUSE didn’t just stumble into the digital sovereignty spotlight, but purposefully mobilized “tiger teams” years in advance to seize the massive opportunity and fill a critical void for a global, European-based technology leader. Emphasizing a culture that balances bold innovation with collaborative humility, the duo discusses how SUSE’s long-standing commitment to open standards has perfectly positioned the company to champion true freedom of choice in the modern enterprise.
