I have been working with Microsoft SharePoint since its original release in 2001. Over that time, I have designed and developed solutions for all versions of SharePoint in various software developer and consultant roles. I have built a large portfolio of customer projects that demonstrate significant experience of building SharePoint applications, particularly SharePoint Intranet sites using both the classic and modern experience.I currently specialise in migration of legacy SharePoint versions to SharePoint Server 2019 and SharePoint Online, as well as migration of file data to Microsoft Teams and OneDrive for Business. My project experience is not limited to SharePoint but includes related Office 365 technologies, such as Microsoft Teams, OneDrive for Business, PowerApps and Power Automate (Flow).I am based in York, North Yorkshire but work with customers throughout the UK and happy to work on-site with your staff, as well as remotely.

As part of this role, I was responsible for responding to high value software and services opportunities as well as public and private sector tenders. I was routinely responsible for winning new enterprise business which included Phoenix’s largest ever deals for key vendors including Citrix, VMware, Adobe and IBM. I was also responsible for a number of strategic vendor relationships and manage revenue/rebate objectives for Tier 1 vendors, including VMware, Citrix, Adobe, Symantec and Sophos.In addition, I was personally responsible for securing a place on vital supplier frameworks, including Pro5, G-Cloud, Buying Solutions, Eduserv and NHS Connecting for Health (at the time, Microsoft’s largest Enterprise Agreement in the world). These strategic wins enabled Phoenix to significantly increase turnover and enter new market sectors.Specialties included: Enterprise sales, bids and tenders, business development, vendor alliance and strategy, seminar and event planning, end user presentations and demonstrations, marketing content creation

My role as Alliances Manager involved managing a team of people responsible for partner alliances, sales enablement and new business campaigns, reporting directly to Director level. I was responsible for devising “go to market” strategies and coordinating subsequent sales enablement activities for all vendors. The range of activities include maintaining high levels of activity with Tier 1 vendors (Microsoft, Symantec, VMware, Citrix, Adobe and Sophos) as well as developing relationships with Tier 2 and 3 vendors. My technical background in IT complemented my ability to assess software solutions and take these to market via a range of well executed sales and marketing activities.My partner alliances role provided invaluable experience of the IT reseller channel by allowing me to engage on a regular basis with a wide variety of vendors and distribution partners within my chosen solution area of virtualisation. I was responsible for presenting to end users at a technical presales level (e.g., whiteboarding sessions, technical workshop events) and to train sales staff on solutions including Citrix, VMware, Microsoft and Symantec.

In my current role, I am responsible for developing commercial strategy and coordinating responses to strategic tenders and other large size opportunities, reporting directly to Director level. This role combines a commercial ability to determine bidding strategy with technical understanding of software solutions in order to form high quality customer proposals. As part of this role, I am involved in commercial and technical discussions with software vendors and distribution partners on a daily basis, which has provided invaluable experience of enterprise sales.
