I'm part of the Senior Leadership Team at Advania UK (previously Content+Cloud), heading up the function which drives our products and services strategy and ensures we're at the cutting edge in what we offer across Microsoft AI, Modern Work, Azure, Cyber Security, Compliance, Unified Comms, and Employee Experience. I'm a technology leader with over 25 years' experience of working with Microsoft technologies to transform how organisations work, with the last decade in leadership roles. While more strategic these days, I have a background as a deep hands-on technologist - managing development teams, leading Microsoft 365 and SharePoint delivery, and writing code. I regularly speak at Microsoft and industry events, and have worked for Microsoft in the past as a SharePoint Premier Field Engineer (PFE).

In technology terms, my core strengths are around the Microsoft cloud stack – especially Microsoft AI, Microsoft 365 (including Teams, SharePoint and the Power Platform), and Azure.

I've held Microsoft 'Most Valuable Professional’ (MVP) status for the last 18 consecutive years.

The Future of Partner Support - Customer + Partner + Microsoft

Several years back Microsoft introduced ‘Unified’ as our hero support offer. This marked a major shift in how Microsoft delivers comprehensive support across all Microsoft products and cloud services, worldwide. In the next year we’ll bring ‘Unified for Partners’ center stage for CSP partners who enable SME&C customer success at scale. This offer comes together with the power of the Microsoft AI Cloud Partner Program through a new Support Services designation, launching here at Ignite!
