Maria Colgan is a master product manager at Oracle Corporation and evangelist for Oracle Database, which she's worked with since version 7.3. In an earlier life, she was the product manager for Oracle Database In-Memory and the query optimizer.

I'm the product manager for the Oracle Optimizer. I started out as an Oracle DBA and application developer in 1988, gradually migrating to the field of consulting, specializing in database design and performance management. I joined Oracle Consulting in 1996 where I concentrated on delivering performance-critical, very large database applications. Since then, I've been involved in a wide variety of different roles including development, benchmarking and pre-sales (with a particular emphasis on Oracle Exadata). I am part of the Oracle Data Warehouse Product Management team.
