Influence
I leverage my influence to deliver greater value and business growth for my colleagues and strategic relationships. Each organization has a unique vertical model to deliver the best solution and services for their audience. They all have technology as their common bond and thus they also enhance the momentum for each other.
The combination of these organizations and my leadership involvements including Microsoft worldwide Influencer and MVP, my reach exceeds 100,000 technology professionals.
