Cloud Strategy Lead
Over my 14 year tenure at Microsoft I had various transformational leadership roles across 3 continents - Australia, Latin America and Asia, launching many early adopter projects for Office365, Azure and Surface Devices.
Most importantly, I was one of the first Cloud Sales Leaders ever hired at Microsoft (2009), with a goal to land the global strategy and lead Microsoft Service Providers through the dramatic industry shift.
This Cloud expertise took me to Latin America and Asia, creating partnerships with Telcos, Hosters, Distributors and IT Partners, being the voice of the cloud at Microsoft, evangelising and recruiting channel partners and to launch and accelerate Microsoft's multi-billion dollar cloud leadership position that you see today.
