About Sherif Alghali

I help organizations navigate complex M365 migrations during mergers and acquisitions.Over the past two years, I\'ve led 70+ cross-tenant migrations for PE-backed integrations across industries from tech companies to roofing operations. These projects involve Google Workspace, M365, and hybrid environments: email, OneDrive, Teams, SharePoint, and Azure Virtual Desktop infrastructure. Every acquisition brings unique challenges around domain consolidation, mail flow architecture, identity management, and business continuity during transitions.My approach centers on thorough discovery and systematic execution. Most post-migration issues trace back to gaps in the preparation phase (forgotten SaaS integrations, overlooked distribution lists, undocumented dependencies). That\'s why I invest heavily upfront using tools like GAM and Microsoft Graph PowerShell to map the complete environment before making changes.I work with organizations planning acquisition integrations and Microsoft partners scaling their M365 practice. As a Microsoft Certified Trainer with 8 active certifications (including Azure Solutions Architect Expert, M365 Administrator Expert, and Cybersecurity Architect Expert), I bring both hands-on migration expertise and the training capability to transfer knowledge to client teams.I write about migration strategies and lessons learned at sherifalghali.com. I also speak and give presentations about M365 collaboration tools and migrations for any event that will have me.
