Director, Security GTM Strategy at Microsoft | Designing & implementing AI based solutions that streamline seller experiences and drive productivity

About

I like problems that do not come with a Playbook. A decade at Microsoft has taken me across very different countries and challenges — Lisbon to London to Seattle HQ, contractor to Director. I have learned that the best work usually starts in ambiguity and I enjoy the process of bringing clarity and defining concrete processes that help teams deliver results. Lately that has meant helping shape how Microsoft takes security to market — leading the design of an internal solution that turned a set of fragmented efforts into one simple, scalable way of working, using AI to make it easier for field sales teams to get what they need, when they need it. I care about building things that last, I lead by example and I establish trust through results.
