With over 15+ years of experience working with Microsoft technology I have been fortunate enough to be involved in many projects, including several of significant size and complexity; working with clients to digitally transform their on-premises environments to the cloud through the adoption of Microsoft 365 applications; managing the lifecycle of the project from visioning exercises, solution design and information architecture through to implementation and user adoption strategies.

- Deliver technical marketing activities, ensuring events are suitably presented with appropriate content.
Pre-Sales Architect:

- Review and approve sales proposals, for the viability and appropriateness of proposed solutions
- Understand and interpret requirements and provide deliverable solutions based on the product portfolio
