Our G(erman) Force @WPC in the US

Hi,

I am Lukas MACH Partner Sales Executive in the Partner Sales Team managing the P-Seller Program.

We work quite closely together with our best partners within Switzerland supporting them during their cloud transformation.
We define key activities through the whole fiscal year by the help of joint-Business plans.
Moreover we support our partners with several "readiness sessions" by ensuring that they are able to pitch and deploy the latest Microsoft solutions.

Cheers,
Lukas

Hi,

I am Gianpaolo MACH Partner Sales Executive in the SAM&C Team.

Currently our team is facing a transformation. Our historic approach has been to focus primarily
on ensuring customers are compliant in their licensing.  Going forward we need a deeper focus
on customer value, cloud adoption,  license optimization and CPE. These changes strengthen
our approach, maximize synergy with segment sales roles, and accelerate cloud adoption.

One of my core priorities are to focus on balancing our Partner Landscape  and Partner Activation
in order to drive further revenue. To develop joint business plannings and to push our
transformation strategy within our Partners Ecosystem (Cloud and Annuity Business first).

Ciao,
Gianpaolo

Our Experience @WPC, Orlando

As a MACH Partner Sales Executive, we both had to pleasure to attend the World Partner Conference 2015 in Orlando. This conference is held once a year, bringing Partners and Microsofties together.

Surrounded by several sessions, the Vision Keynotes, Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella reaffirmed our bold mission to empower every person and every organization on the planet to achieve more.
COO Kevin Turner outlined a plan of action for reinventing business productivity and owning the cloud.
Executives from across Microsoft announced investments in technologies, resources, and programs that will make it easier for Partners to execute the cloud transformation.

Together, we’ve also spent a lot of quality time at the memorable Welcome Reception on top of the Amway Center,at the DACH Party
in the world biggest Hard Rock Café, at the WPC Party in Disney’s Hollywood Studios and at quite a few joint breakfasts, lunches and dinners.
