With over 13 years of hands-on experience, starting from the early days of CRM v3.0, I am a certified Microsoft professional and a Team Leader at a leading Microsoft Partner. As a Dynamics 365 Solution Architect, I specialize in developing user-centric solutions that revolutionize business processes and elevate employee satisfaction.
Passionate about promoting an inclusive tech landscape, I believe that great minds don’t always think alike. As a proud Dyslexic Thinker, I approach problem-solving from fresh and creative angles.

• What drove them forward
• What were those first 3 / 6 / 12 months like
And provide advice on:
• What benefits career-changers and Client-Side specialists bring across with them
• What Partner organisations can do to best support such transitioners
• Whether this could be the right journey for you

Are you an end user considering the transition to Consultancy or are you a Partner who wants to understand the barriers that end users face when considering the jump?
