Microsoft Regional Directors

The Microsoft Regional Directors (RD) program is a community of technology thought leaders, experts, and influencers who have a deep understanding of Microsoft technologies and a strong commitment to sharing their knowledge and insights with others. Microsoft Regional Directors are not Microsoft employees; rather, they are independent professionals who are recognized by Microsoft for their expertise and contributions to the technology community.

Members of the Microsoft RD program typically have a broad range of experience across various Microsoft products, platforms, and services, including Azure, Office 365, Dynamics 365, Windows, and more. They may be developers, architects, IT professionals, consultants, or business leaders who are actively involved in speaking engagements, writing articles, organizing events, mentoring others, and providing feedback to Microsoft.

The Microsoft RD program provides its members with opportunities to collaborate with Microsoft teams, participate in early product previews, offer feedback on Microsoft technologies and strategies, and engage with other community leaders around the world. Microsoft Regional Directors serve as advocates for Microsoft technologies and play a key role in helping organizations and individuals leverage Microsoft solutions effectively.

Overall, the Microsoft Regional Directors program serves as a bridge between Microsoft and the broader technology community, helping to facilitate communication, knowledge sharing, and collaboration to drive innovation and success.
