In December 2017 Ian moved to the UK Education Team at Microsoft, having previously held new business, account management, product management and partner development roles at Microsoft.

Ian’s specialist areas are Office 365, enterprise mobility & security, information governance - focusing on how these technology groups unlock new teaching and learning opportunities for everyone. Although Ian is a generalist he is able to think in a transformative manner, evangelise and enthuse about new technologies but be mindful of their impact on others.
