In Dan’s Words
I lead partner programs, strategy, and digital experiences for Microsoft’s Global Partner Solutions organization. Agile trainer and coach. Weekend warrior for a Battalion of service members who defend freedom and democracy on behalf of the United States Army Reserve. Awesome jobs on all sides of life.
Where I’ve been: MIT, EMC2 / Dell, Microsoft, Afghanistan, and about a dozen other US & foreign military bases worldwide. I speak a lot of SQL, a little C#, a bit of Arabic and even less Spanish.
What I’ve done: Contributed a billion USD to Microsoft’s top-line revenue. Returned $20M to Microsoft by removing complexity in the systems/tools that service their customers & partners. Saved EMC2 from software bugs that would have otherwise knocked their storage management systems offline. Built custom server hardware (pre-Cloud) for missile defense researchers at MIT. Led teams in combat on foreign soil.

Quote From This Episode
“Okay, so what happens to me in October, I lose everything that I had? Do I need to scramble my team to go after a bunch of things that are different? I’m just kind of confused, right? I don’t really understand what my transition process is going to be like from MPN into the cloud partner program, a lot of anxiety on the transition process.”
My favorite podcast yet Vince! Dan, I love your “house” analogy and also want to thank you for your service. If you want to partner with Microsoft this should be required listening.
