Meet the Team

Cloud Underground is made up of a small, yet well-rounded, team of innovative and passionate engineers and entrepreneurs. We do what we do for the Cloud Underground because we love it.

Laura Anderson Riley, CEO

Laura is a serial entrepreneur, writer, marketer, content creator, and web developer. She spent much of her early career working as a print journalist and magazine editor, radio producer, and on-air DJ. Though they may not seem technical, these experiences made her naturally inquisitive, adaptable, and willing to take risks – the trifecta of skills necessary to run a cloud computing start-up!

In her free time, she enjoys taking long walks with her partner Nato and their Alaskan Klee Kais Augustus and Apollo. She also enjoys knitting and sewing, distance running, customizing her tech, tinkering with CSS, and playing action RPGs on her PC.
