FY2027 Board of Directors Elections

Roger Cressey | Association of Christian Schools

Candidate Statement

I am honored to have been nominated for the ODTUG Board and greatly appreciate your support. I was a founder of Qubix International for 26 years and I have now moved from consulting to being the Chief Information and Technology Officer for Association of Christian Schools.

Throughout my career, I have been passionate about contributing to the Oracle community through education, collaboration, and service. I previously served on the board of the ANDOUC and regularly host tech casts.
As a frequent speaker, I have presented at Kscope, ANDOUC, East Coast OUG, UKOUG, SIOUG, Oracle OpenWorld, Oracle AI World, and other Oracle conferences around the world. These opportunities have allowed me to share practical knowledge, learn from industry experts, and help others get the most from Oracle technologies.

Within Kscope, I serve as content lead for both the Essbase and OCI tracks. Working with speakers and volunteers to deliver high-quality educational content has reinforced my appreciation for what makes ODTUG unique: a community built on knowledge sharing, professional growth, and genuine relationships.

Kscope has played an important role in my professional journey, and I am committed to giving back to the community that has given so much to me. If elected to the ODTUG Board, I will focus on supporting our members, strengthening engagement, expanding opportunities for learning and collaboration, and helping to ensure that ODTUG remains the premier community for Oracle professionals.

It would be my privilege to serve and contribute to ODTUG’s continued success.

Biography

As Chief Information & Technology Officer for Association of Christian Schools International, I have been volunteering within the Oracle community for many years. I have served on the boards of companies and non-profits over many years and have a solid contribution to make to ODTUG.  

Within ODTUG, I have volunteered to lead abstract reviews for both Essbase and OCI content, helping ensure high-quality educational sessions for the community.

I host community Tech Casts, sharing knowledge and fostering engagement across the Oracle ecosystem.
My experience spans both consulting and being the customer. This gives me strong perspective for collaboration and operational leadership skills. I understand how effective boards balance strategic direction, member engagement, and organizational execution.

I reviewed the responsibilities of ODTUG Board service, and I am confident I can commit the necessary time, energy, and enthusiasm to make a meaningful contribution advancing ODTUG’s mission to benefit its members and our Oracle community.

Natalie Delemar | PwC

Candidate Statement

I’ve had the privilege of serving ODTUG in many roles over the years, including conference chair, president, and member of the Board of Directors. I rolled off the Board in 2019, but I never rolled away from ODTUG. I’ve attended every conference since 2008 and continued speaking and volunteering.

This community has remained important to me because of what it represents: education, collaboration, and a shared passion for Oracle technologies.

I believe ODTUG is uniquely positioned to help professionals navigate that change through high-quality education, meaningful networking, and direct engagement with Oracle.

I am excited about the opportunity to serve again and help ODTUG continue to grow. Recently, I helped bring PwC in as a Platinum sponsor, and want to build on that momentum by strengthening strategic relationships with key vendors, partners, and organizations that can bring value to our members. These relationships are essential to expanding ODTUG’s reach, increasing sponsorship opportunities, and ensuring our community remains strong and relevant.

If elected, my priorities will be to support ODTUG’s continued growth and energize the OCI and Analytics communities, strengthen vendor and partner engagement, and help create more opportunities for members to learn & connect. I want to help ODTUG continue delivering the exceptional education and community experience that makes it so special, while also positioning the organization for the future.

ODTUG has given me so much over the years: professional growth, lifelong connections, and the chance to serve a community I believe in. I would be honored to serve again.

Linsey Dyson | Deloitte

Candidate Statement

I am honored to be considered for the ODTUG Board of Directors. While I am not an Oracle practitioner in the traditional sense, I have spent many years deeply embedded in the Oracle ecosystem.

My career has taken me from EY, where I developed a strong foundation in business transformation and consulting, to SAS, where I honed my expertise in analytics, forecasting, and data-driven decision-making. At Oracle, I worked directly with customers and partners across many industries, bridging the gap between technology capability and business outcome. Today, as Vice President at Deloitte Consulting's Oracle practice, I support Fortune 500 clients globally.
What I bring to ODTUG is not just technical familiarity — it's the voice of the customer, the partner, and the alliance. I understand how Oracle technology is bought, implemented, and adopted at scale. I am a connector by nature, passionate about community building, and committed to ensuring ODTUG remains the indispensable destination for Oracle professionals navigating rapid technology change.

If elected, I will focus on expanding ODTUG's relevance across emerging Oracle Cloud communities, strengthening alliance partnerships, and ensuring the member experience reflects the full spectrum of how professionals engage with Oracle today.

I would be proud to serve this community. Let's build what's next — together.

Past Volunteer Involvement

Community engagement is core to who I am. Throughout my adult life, I have served in leadership roles both personally and professionally — including HOA President, PTA Board Member, and a 12-year commitment to National Charity League, where I served six years on the Board and continue as a Sustainer.

At Deloitte, I lead Impact Day initiatives and mentor emerging women leaders through Deloitte's Women's Initiative program (both since 2023). I am also a proud new member of Next Up (2026).

Although I am new to ODTUG, I hit the ground running — in my first year, I championed our platinum-level sponsorship of KScope and the Women in Technology breakfast, and I look forward to deepening that investment as a board member.

Abi Giles-Haigh | CapGemini

Candidate Statement

ODTUG has been the beating heart of the Oracle community for decades, a place where practitioners come to learn, connect, and advance the technology. I want to help make that experience even more impactful, and I'm standing for election to the board to do exactly that.

As an Oracle ACE Director and Analytics and Innovation Director at Capgemini, I work at the intersection of the technologies that matter most to this community right now: Oracle Cloud Infrastructure, advanced analytics, and AI. I've built enterprise-scale data pipelines on OCI, architected AI-ready data ecosystems, and delivered keynote addresses on practical AI transformation using Oracle's platform. I bring both the hands-on depth and the strategic perspective our community needs as it navigates a genuinely transformative period.

My focus areas align directly with where ODTUG members are investing their energy: understanding what OCI means for real-world production workloads, making sense of Oracle's fast-moving AI and GenAI capabilities, and building analytics practices that deliver real value, not just demos.

I'm passionate about knowledge-sharing, mentoring, and making technical communities more inclusive and accessible. I would bring that same energy to ODTUG by championing high-quality content, fostering the Analytics and OCI communities, and ensuring our members remain at the cutting edge.
