• Corporate Business Development Manager

  • Sep 2020 - Sep 2022

  Industry Business Development is a unique function sitting fully outside of the sales and commercial teams that focuses on identifying market trends and building strategic partnerships with key players (distruptors and market leaders) within our focus industry. We worked across Microsoft's breathe of products, building custom partnership structures unique to each partner's value proposition and aligned with Microsoft's industry strategy. We actively authored white papers on new trends and advise on strategy. As the strategy is more defined, we proposed and vetted partner lists, built relationships, authored contracts, structured partnership models and negotiated deal terms to create lasting partnerships that extended Microsoft's solutions in the industry. My team covered all sub-industries within retail & CPG. Within retail, I have touched a variety of focus areas including: supply chain & logistics, ecommerce, martech/adtech, social commerce, metaverse, and sustainability. Show less

  While on Microsoft's award winning Investor Relations team, I directly informed Microsoft's executive leadership office (CEO, CFO, COO, etc...) on our top ~30 key competitors' earnings performance through numerous executive summaries. I participated in all preparation activities for our quarterly earnings process and was regularly communicated with stakeholders around the company to understand the performance story.

• Finance Rotation Program - Cloud & AI Revenue

  • Mar 2019 - Sep 2019

  The team serves as the central point for all reporting and analytics related to Business Applications revenue, Microsoft’s third cloud. Having joined the team during team transitions and fiscal year end, I was able to lead reporting by building a new daily tracker and various views as different business needs arose, as requested by our senior director. In preparation for quarterly earnings release, I drove communication and research to create and update KPIs that demonstrate the high momentum in the cloud commercial space. I managed cross-team communication during our forecasting cycle and researched Top of Mind topics to keep leadership up to date on the cloud’s business health. Show less

• Finance Rotation Program - Central Finance Operating Expense

  • Sep 2018 - Mar 2019

  The team analyzes and reports on the entire company’s operating expenses, looking at the P&L from a fifty-thousand foot view. A large deliverable I worked on was building the deck that broke down headcount cost allocation across the company and analyzed how to better align this allocation with FY20 priorities; a deck that was used in a review meeting with the company CFO. On a monthly basis, I prepared and presented the operating expenses of Microsoft’s sales organization to the team and management. Show less
