It has been a long time since I have blogged about my life at Microsoft, in fact it has been about a year.  At that time I announced I was moving back to NY.  Today I am announcing a change in my role at Microsoft.

After 42 months of being an Architect Evangelist in Microsoft’s Developer and Platform Evangelism group, I am moving on.  Effective July 1st, I will be taking on the role of Global Account Technology Specialist for JPMorgan Chase.  While I am looking forward to the challenges that lie ahead, I am sadden to leave the DPE and the Architect Evangelist Role I love so much. 

I enjoyed being an evangelist and it is a great job.  You learn about all the latest and greatest technologies Microsoft has to offer and you introduce them to customers in 1 on 1 sessions, presentations and through other means like blogging.  Granted, I was never very good at blogging :-).  What I was good at was the 1 on 1 sessions and creating good working relationships with my customers.

That brings me to my new role.  I was selected for this new role because of my ability to create good working relationships with my customers.  This is a sales role.  A first for me.  I have been a technologist all my career, so this is a change.  I believe a change for the better.  I guess time will tell.  That's it for now.  I will keep you posted.
