Issue 144: People You Should Know Who Work For Microsoft & LinkedIn: Madrid Edition!

We are just days away from a potential tour of the LinkedIn office in Madrid, Spain! I know there are lots of people to thank and I’ll update this more as we get closer to the week or so I have in the city.

Carlos Joaquín de Nova de Nova - my original Madrid professional connection!

Mary Olges is a connection from Microsoft Chicago:

General Manager, Strategic Partnerships Team, EMEA

Bernardo Esteves put me in touch with the contact needed to arrange the tour.

Cristina González Herrero is the MVP Community Lead Madrid

Liubov Zotova attended “Universidad Rey Juan Carlos” my dad is John Rey - maybe the former Dekalb mayor will make it back over there some day!

Ana María Bisbé York is a MVP and local to Madrid

Gabriel Naranjo Lituma is a MCT (Microsoft Certified Trainer)

Alejandro Cabrera Martínez is a MVP and was a Microsoft Learn Student Ambassador and I met him at the MVP Summit 2024!

We may be joined by another Student Ambassador that will be joining Microsoft as an intern from Dublin, Ireland! Bhumit Kaushik and I met last week!

I’m sure I will have others to add and I have offered to run an #IAmRemarkable workshop next week. It would be a honor to meet with LinkedIn employees from this city in my grandpa’s home country!
