I am passionate about SaaS and AI solutions that ignite innovation and revolutionize capabilities, irrespective of an organization’s size or IT budget.As a Global Black Belt (GBB), I shape nascent business ideas, conduct market testing, secure vital early-stage customers, and build robust commercial models in collaboration with our global Business Architecture. I relentlessly pursue innovation by collaborating with product Engineering teams to market test new services, perfect business models and land the capabilities essential for rapid scaling.My charter is about redefining and transforming how organizations operate in today’s digital landscape. As a GBB, I strive to be a futurist by continuously learning, adapting, and driving the evolution of the IT industry. I advocate for data-driven decisions and customer insights to shape future product direction rather than relying on mere assumption or dogma. I perpetually push boundaries and ask challenging questions that spur evolution and growth.I have led multiple new products and services like SharePoint Server, Office 365, EMS, and most recently Windows 365. I grew them from Customer 1 to mainstream businesses within Modern Work at Microsoft.If you catch me outside of work, it may well be holding one or more of our horses.
