  • Create technical presentations, proposals, and SOWs tailored to SMB and Mid-Market client needs.
  • Collaborate with CSMs and Engineering to deliver proof-of-concept deployments and validate client solutions.
  • Support BAEs CSMs with training on Azure/SharePoint opportunities to strengthen presales capability across the team.

  • Hands-on expertise in Azure solution design and presales (VMs, networking, storage, AD/Entra, security, governance).
  • Strong background in SharePoint Online architecture and adoption (site collections, permissions, migration, workflows).
  • Broad understanding of infrastructure, networking, VoIP, managed services, and cybersecurity.
  • Proven ability to present technical solutions to executives and decision-makers in business terms.
