About Owen Jaques

I am passionate about driving technology solutions that make a difference. With over 8 years at Microsoft (over 15 counting time contracted to work), I have a proven track record in Influence, specializing in Training and Product Evangelism. In my role within Worldwide Partner Marketing, I work closely with our retail partners to deploy resources that educate sales professionals about how to position our products effectively with consumers. I believe that words matter and crafting the story that others will tell is a critical component of my role. I\'ve led impactful projects and fostered cross-functional collaborations, always focusing on delivering measurable results.I thrive in dynamic environments and am dedicated to continuous learning and innovation. Outside the office, I am a huge team sports fan, and my passion for competition and teamwork translates into my professional life, where I strive to create an environment in which I and my colleagues can thrive and feel connected.
