I work for Microsoft here in the UK and run the Partner Programmes team. I joined the partner team a year ago - having spent a large proportion of my time working in our enterprise business, leading a team of vertical marketing managers, having focused personally on retail, manufacturing and relationship marketing over the previous few years. Prior to that I led a team of marketers focused on business audiences - following a stint in the marketing communications team. Prior to Microsoft I spent time at Telewest - and Securicor Cellular - where I was responsible for channel marketing in the days - er - when mobile phone sales moved to the high street :-)
Now I've joined the Community, I'm really looking forward to the chance to hear first hand feedback from you - how we're doing, what we can do better, what else we can do etc...and importantly understand how you're making use of the Community.
