Bio
Chris Longo
I had the pleasure of working with Bob Vernon at Sitecore, where he was a key member of the Microsoft alliance team. Bob has a deep understanding of the inner workings of what makes a successful partnership. He was instrumental in the implementation of several workstreams, and his contributions were crucial in ensuring the success of these projects. He is an excellent problem-solver, with the ability to find creative solutions to complex challenges. Working within and with Microsoft partnerships can be a daunting task, but it never seemed to slow down Bob and his curiosity and tenacity won out every time.
