I delivered training to the regional Sales and Solution Consulting teams in addition to providing ongoing support and was accountable for the technical approval of all APAC AEM MS deals and renewals. I have helped a number of APAC customers across multiple verticals successfully migrate to cloud solutions.

As an experienced Solution Architect in the Rackspace UK office, I had the opportunity to move to Australia to help grow the Rackspace presence in market. I worked closely with local customers to assess their ability to move to the cloud and help shape that journey. Being the first Architect in the region I was responsible for hiring and training the pre-sales team and training all new starters on “hosting fundamentals,” a three-day course I helped develop to teach non-technical hires the basic skills they would need to interact with Rackspace customers. Successes include developing a hybrid cloud strategy that saved a fast-food franchise 50% of their monthly bill and negotiating a third-party vendor relationship to deliver new DR services to the Australian market that helped retain a major fintech start-up and grow the account by 45%.
