Tracy Ragan

addition, she currently serves on the Technology Advisory Committees of both organizations. In these roles, she helps shape industry standards and pragmatic guidance for securing the software supply chain and advancing DevOps pipelines to enable safer, more effective use of open-source ecosystems at scale.

With more than 25 years of experience across software engineering, DevOps, and secure delivery pipelines, Tracy has built a career at the intersection of automation, security, and operational reality. Her work is focused on closing one of the industry’s most critical gaps: detecting and remediating high-risk vulnerabilities running in live, deployed systems, across cloud-native, edge, embedded, and HPC environments.

Tracy’s expertise is grounded in decades of hands-on leadership. She is the Co-Founder and former COO of OpenMake Software, where she pioneered agile build automation and led the development of OpenMake Meister, a build orchestration platform adopted by hundreds of enterprise teams and generating over $60M in partner revenue. That experience directly informs her current mission: eliminating security blind spots that persist long after software is released.

At DeployHub, Tracy leads the development of an agentless, real-time platform that maps software package consumption to live environments, exposing vulnerabilities missed by traditional static and dynamic scanners. DeployHub’s digital twin architecture enables automated, policy-driven remediation across modern DevSecOps pipelines, reducing remediation timelines from months to minutes and directly supporting zero-trust and defend-forward cyber strategies critical to the Department of Defense and U.S. Space Force.

In addition to her board and advisory roles, Tracy is the Community Director for Ortelius, an open-source project under the Linux Foundation which is the core of the DeployHub offering. Through this work, she is actively bridging the gap between DevOps workflows and emerging open-source security tooling.
