I am beyond ecstatic to announce that, as of January 1st, I will be moving to a new role as a Senior Program Manager on the Power BI Customer Advisory Team. This is a total dream job for me. I have been a huge fan of Power BI ever since it launched. And while I have enjoyed my time focusing on Azure and learned a lot, Power BI has always been where my heart is. This new role means I get to follow my heart AND work alongside the super talented Power BI product team that continues to crush it week after week and month after month.

Back in July of 2015, when Power BI became Generally Available, I blogged about it: General Availability of Power BI

The night Power BI went GA, via Twitter, I told James Phillips, the Corporate Vice President at Microsoft that owns Power BI, to go to bed. As of January 1, he will be my boss’s boss’s boss’s boss. That’s pretty cool, if you ask me. That night, I had never even considered that I would one day get to work for Microsoft and that I would have the opportunity to work on the extended Power BI product team.

To me, Power BI is an amazing example of Microsoft’s mission to enable every person and every organization to achieve more. It wonderfully fulfills the promise of bringing BI to the masses with an easy-to-use tool with terrific capabilities. I am so excited to officially make Power BI my mission.
