Lucy Bourne is a Partner Development Manager - Microsoft Business Applications Recruit at Microsoft UK at Microsoft. Colleagues describe them as "Lucy is one of the sharpest and quickest minds I have seen in action. She is acutely results orientated and her presence adds momentum. I would absolutely support Lucy as a trusted advisor and mentor. She also makes a good brew!" and "I had the pleasure of working with Lucy while she was a UK based Dynamics 365 partner recruiter. She was a “hustler” and was always finding ways to make high impact and recommend her outstanding work in recruiting new Biz Apps ISVs to the ecosystem. During her time at Microsoft, she successfully piloted ISV connect industry showcase sessions in the UK, where she developed a blueprint for bringing sellers closer to key strategic recruits and managed ISVs both from the UK and globally. Her exceptional skills in project management, combined with her technical expertise, enabled her to create a highly effective framework that ensured the success of these events. I was incredibly impressed with Lucy's ability to bring together over 300 prospective ISVs at a breadth recruit event that she organized just before leaving for maternity leave. The deep dive tour that she took them on was comprehensive, and she gave them a clear understanding of the steps they needed to take to get live on Microsoft AppSource and start proactively selling through our platform. Her attention to detail, excellent communication skills, and exceptional organization were instrumental in ensuring the success of the event. I highly recommend her for any position where these qualities are valued and sought after."
