Michael Mersch

Director, Product Management, OCI, Oracle

Michael is a foundational member of the OCI Product Management team responsible for bringing Oracle’s IaaS offerings to market. Although he resides in the development organization, his primary focus is customer success. The OCI Product Management organization is a highly customer-centric team that actively engages with Oracle’s growing customer base to drive product innovation and continually improve its IaaS offerings.
Michael has built his career in software through a progression of roles spanning Product Management, Sales Engineering, Customer Success, Direct Sales, and Business Development leadership. His technical background covers the full data center stack, including battery-backed power systems, mainframe environments, client-server systems management, virtualization technologies, open-source software, and modern cloud computing across both Platform-as-a-Service and Infrastructure-as-a-Service models.
 
He joined the OCI Product Management organization in 2015 with a focus on customer adoption, success, and references. Before joining Oracle, he ran Engine Yard, a developer for PaaS platform that was itself a customer of both AWS and Azure, which gave him early experience working in multicloud environments. In his early role at OCI, he worked on partnerships designed to expand service adoption, including strategic integrations, supplier relationships, plug-ins, and OCI Marketplace publishers. In 2019, he began working closely with Microsoft on the Azure Interconnect initiative, which became Oracle’s first multicloud product.

Building on that experience, Michael later moved to the Database Cloud Services Product Management team, where he now focuses on ExaDB-D across all of its deployment models. He leads a team of product managers responsible for helping “make the business work” around Exadata cloud services. The team manages the commercialization aspects of the platform, from PRG and NPI processes through pricing strategy and analysis. They also support global field teams through business value enablement and provide business intelligence across the database cloud services portfolio.
 
A couple of small edits beyond the pronoun fixes: “ever-growing list of customers” became “growing customer base,” and I added “Before joining Oracle” so the Engine Yard detail reads in the right order. Happy to switch it to first person instead if that suits where it’s going.
