Show less The devices and mobility team at Microsoft is responsible for supporting the pre-sales needs of our customers including the Windows client operating system, the management solutions for clients, our hybrid cloud services and the devices themselves. In this role, I support Windows and the System Center Configuration Manager as well as represent Microsoft's cloud-based MDM solution - Intune. I help customers to manage their user identities and access controls both in the traditional on-premises methods and with their cloud services. Using Azure Active Directory and the Microsoft Identity Manager solutions, I guide customers to finding strong solutions to manage identities across all of their cloud based and traditional systems. Security of the user identity and the company data is paramount, and this role is heavily involved in helping customers with identity federation (ADFS and SAML) as well as enhancing logins with multi-factor authentication solutions.

Having been involved in the incubation of: Exchange Hosted Services, Business Productivity Online Suite, Office 365, and Identity and Access, I now have joined the effort to promote Windows Azure and the related services in Microsoft’s cloud offerings. This role provides the opportunity for me to help educate customers on the benefits of cloud computing by showing them how they can save time and money while delivering secure and resilient services to their business.
