These are some of the most influential (mostly due to experience or expertise) and active folks (I actually see them attend events) in the NYC infrastructure scene (that I have a personal connection to).
If you're running a dinner or are just looking to meet interesting people in NYC in software infrastructure, consider this list and feel free to mention "Phil said you are awesome".
I've normalized titles a little bit but I say every title in the most generous way. These folks are brilliant.
This list is intentionally randomized. Also not a complete list. I've surely forgotten (let alone not yet met) great folk.
