Schedule - PGConf.EU 2022

Karen Jex

Karen is on the PostgreSQL Europe Board, and leads the PostgreSQL Europe Diversity Task Force. She organises Postgres conferences, and gives talks about databases at database and developer events.

In her day job, she is a Solutions Architect, supporting customers through their database system design, deployment and management. She came to that via 20 years as a DBA (mainly Oracle - sorry!) then several years in database consultancy. She was once described as “quite personable for a DBA” which she decided to take as a compliment.

Outside of the world of databases Karen loves cycling, mountain biking, skiing and spending time with her family in the mountains where she lives.
