# Emilio Salvador
VP of Strategy and DevRel at GitLab, tying developer communities to business impact.

## About

Emilio Salvador directs strategy and developer relations at GitLab. He focuses on connecting developer communities with core business metrics, ensuring that advocacy translates into measurable organizational outcomes.
