Gill Walker

Gill Walker

Gill Walker is an Australian-based Microsoft Dynamics 365 and Power Platform expert who works with organisations to turn Microsoft platform investments into sustainable, measurable outcomes.

Gill’s work sits at the intersection of Power Platform, Microsoft 365, governance, adoption, and executive accountability. She advises leaders and delivery teams on how to design operating models that scale. Not just how to deploy tools. Her focus is on clarifying ownership, decision rights, and ways of working so platforms become embedded rather than underutilised.

With over two decades of experience across CRM, digital workplace platforms, and business transformation, Gill is known for identifying the patterns that cause Microsoft initiatives to stall after rollout. Her sessions are practical, candid, and grounded in real delivery experience, without relying on demos or policy-heavy frameworks.

Gill regularly works with CIOs, digital leaders, and change managers who need to balance control with momentum across Microsoft 365 and connected platforms. Her work emphasises governance that enables adoption, rather than slowing it down.
