ABOUT SAMUEL DREY
French & Canadian Cloud Architect | Global Citizen | Microsoft VeteranHalf Alsatian from Haguenau with roots at Niederlauterbach (Alsace, France) and half Malagasy (from Madagascar), raised across France as well as Réunion and Mauritius islands, and now based in Ottawa, Canada, I bring a truly global perspective to everything I do. I hold a Master of Engineering and am fully bilingual in French and English. Since joining Microsoft in I’ve held various roles in Technical Sales and Services across Europe and North America, continuously evolving my expertise in cloud architecture, project delivery, and customer success. Over the years, I’ve led and contributed to major enterprise-scale projects, including deployments for organizations with over users and mailboxes, spanning support, technical sales, project management, and operations.🧠 My core strength lies in adapting my communication to any audience, from technical teams to executive leadership, to clarify complex technical challenges and drive alignment. Outside of tech, I’m passionate about the skies. I earned my Private Pilot License at the age of 17 (then the youngest pilot in France) and am currently working toward my Canadian Commercial Pilot License.
