🎉 Celebrating 30 Years in the Microsoft Ecosystem! 🎉
This month marks a huge personal and professional milestone for me — 30 years since I first started working with Microsoft… and what a journey it’s been. 💙
From my first day walking into Pin Mill Farm in 1996…
To watching the world hold its breath on 31 December 1999 (yes, I really was in a Microsoft South Africa boardroom checking in with New Zealand on the Millennium Bug!)…
To major product launches, travels across three continents, being part of the team behind projects initiated by Nelson Mandela and later working on Dynamics, Azure and partner programmes across EMEA…
All the way through to founding Zebra Perspectives and supporting partners across the ecosystem…
It has been wild, inspiring, challenging, humbling — and completely transformational.
✨ To mark the milestone, I’ve written a special blog that recaps the journey, the lessons, and the extraordinary evolution of Microsoft over the past three decades.
