Sonia is a New Zealander at heart who made Brisbane, Australia home. Yes, she still supports the All Blacks.

Sonia's I.T. career of over 20 years started in Enterprise Systems Administration and Architecture for Banking, Government and Defence, focused on Microsoft and IBM software platforms. Her last Enterprise role was as a Service Delivery Manager for a large systems integrator, responsible for IBM developers & system administrators in multiple locations.

Deciding to start a family, she quit her day job and started a business dedicated to Small and Medium Business customers which provided technical projects and support and helped customers to successfully adopt new technologies the right way, achieving great business results. Here she dived into collaboration, productivity and the future of work (including AI and bots).

Sonia was recognised for her community involvement so Microsoft awarded her as an MVP in the Office Servers & Services and Windows Insider categories. she regularly engaged with other I.T. partners to help them keep up with the rapid pace of change in our industry and authored several courses at Pluralsight.

Now she has landed in my dream job – as a Cloud Advocate for Microsoft.
