Global Lead, Accenture Microsoft Innovation Showcase @Accenture

I am the global lead of our Accenture Microsoft Business Group (AMBG) Innovation Showcase, as well as the North America lead for our innovation and mixed reality practice. Our global Showcase team is responsible for managing our central sales enablement platform, where employees across Accenture, Avanade and Microsoft can find all the demos, storytelling assets and sales kits they need to sell Microsoft solutions to clients. My responsibilities are centered around bringing the best of Microsoft to our salesforce through the design, development and publication of cutting-edge demos, immersive XR and metaverse experiences, innovative sales kits, and persona-driven sales and storytelling assets. Coupled with our design thinking offerings and creative services, we are helping clients reimagine their customer and employee journeys through cloud-first digital transformation, building innovative IoT solutions on the 5G Edge, leveraging Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning to solve complex societal challenges, and designing a more human-centered, productive and sustainable world.
