About Jim Desantis

With an extensive 30+ year tenure as an Identity and Messaging Architect, I\'ve had the privilege of working with the largest enterprises as an internal Enterprise Architect, Principal consultant, and at Microsoft as a Principal Identity Architect. My unique experience comes from being an Enterprise Architect for 12+ years, then Principal consultant for 14+ years, and lastly working at Microsoft which allows me to explain the Good, Bad, and Ugly about IAM and solve difficult & unusual problems. My philosophy, shaped mainly by my time in the Marine Corps, centers on Honor, Integrity, Truth, and unwavering commitment to success.\"Failure is NOT an Option\" is much more than a motto — it\'s a promise of relentless pursuit towards excellence in everything I do!
