As I stand on the threshold of a new chapter, my seven-year journey at Avanade is coming to an end. It's a moment to reflect on the wisdom gained from successes and challenges that have shaped me as a leader.
In October 2016, I embarked on a transformative shift, leaving behind a 13-year tenure at Microsoft to join the dynamic world of Avanade. This transition marked a profound change from Technology Thought Leadership, Strategic partnerships, and Product and platform selling to a focus on Services business, Systems integration domain, solutions engineering, practice development with pseudo P&L responsibilities, GTM strategy, and managing the full solution lifecycle with engaging client interaction (+ and the amazing Accenture counterparts on almost every opportunity).
