I'm leaving Microsoft

It's true.  I'm leaving Microsoft.  The 1st October 2021 is my last day.   

In 2018 I joined Microsoft as a Cloud Architect, it was a childhood dream to become a Microsoft employee.  It was the start of an incredible journey.   

Fast forward two years ago (today) and I transferred into the Cloud Advocacy team where my mission was to help produce and share actionable IT Operations content.   

During my time as a Cloud Advocate I've stood on the stage of large auditoriums and delivered content on behalf of Microsoft, I've written blog posts to help solve problems, I've written content for Microsoft Learn, created and learnt how to produce video content, stood on the virtual stage at events all over the world and created a lot of memories and friends!  

I owe Rick Claus a lot, for seeing that glint of potential in me, coaching me and teaching me the art of storytelling.   A big thanks to Donovan Brown for always having my back.   

And to my amazing team, Orin Thomas, Sonia Cuff, Thomas Maurer, Anthony Bartolo, Pierre Roman, Phoummala Schmitt.   

But now is the time for a new chapter.  A new challenge. Tomorrow is my last day as a Microsoft employee.  Thanks to all the amazing people I have met over the last 3+ years.  It's been a blast and a pleasure.
