I know many of you have been wondering what I’ve been up to the last few weeks. For those of you that don’t know read on!
Modernization with technology is something that I am deeply passionate about. Maybe it’s a generational thing but when companies are not embracing technology to modernize their services, better engage with their customers, they are set up to fail, big time. This same concept applies for the company you work for as well as companies you don’t.
My entire career has been focused on technology that improves the users and customer experience. I started my career in IT management, and right as telephony and communications systems were merging in to the application space I made a jump in to the contact center and PBX space. After a few years integrating contact centers, voicemail, and PBX’s in to Microsoft-based applications I made a move in to creating a Microsoft-focused practice. This was my first try at creating a practice and helping customers realize the potential of what Microsoft solutions can bring to their company. I shifted to an awesome team at ExtraTeam, and then spent some time at some very large SIs (via acquisition) running very successful global Microsoft practices. Then I realized that what we were doing wasn’t enough for me. I wanted to focus on more than just the UC side of the Microsoft business. As you probably know digital transformation and Microsoft’s modern workplace solutions are the critical components to really charging forward and helping customers re-think how they radically change their mindset and implement modern solutions and services that attract and retain talent, engage with their customers differently that allows them to compete and win. So, over the last few years I’ve/we’ve had ideas around how we could build a Microsoft company that focuses on these specific areas and really make a difference.
