SKILLS
ABOUT ASHLEY BRANIGAN
I lead enterprise D365 transformations that de-risk complex programmes, protect investment, and accelerate business value by setting clear architectural direction, enforcing strong governance, and building high-performing teams. With over a decade of experience, I combine Head-of-Practice leadership with hands-on Solution Architecture to design and deliver Microsoft solutions at scale across retail, FMCG, manufacturing & distribution, finance, and the public sector. I currently lead a Solution Architecture practice, where I set clear architectural direction, support complex programmes from pre-sales or recovery through to go-live, and focus heavily on developing strong, confident teams. Known for a collaborative, pragmatic leadership style and a strong focus on quality, I enjoy working closely with senior stakeholders to help organizations navigate change and scale successfully through well-designed Microsoft platforms.
