This appointment comes as part of a strategic alliance between Logicalis and Microsoft that brings together their teams to innovate industry-leading solutions and services, jointly delivering on the promise of helping customers with tangible business results as they transform their businesses.
McNeil, who will relocate from Microsoft's Seattle headquarters to Europe, served in several global roles within Microsoft's business partner organization, most recently leading the incubation of strategic partnerships in the Americas, Asia and the United Kingdom. In that role, McNeil was instrumental in helping Microsoft's global partners transform their operating models to succeed in a cloud-first world.
In line with the global strategic alliance guideline, this joint commitment is based on Logicalis being one of only 65 global firms out of 60,000 cloud partners to have achieved Microsoft Azure Expert MSP status worldwide. Through this elevated partnership status and Mick's appointment, Logicalis can further accelerate the development of its highly innovative, cutting-edge solutions and services integrated with Microsoft technology for its 10,000 global customers.
"The adoption of cloud technologies to empower employees, engage customers, optimize operations and transform products is at the forefront of every CEO's mind today. As I look around the world at Logicalis' capabilities in cloud infrastructure, advanced analytics, IoT, business process automation and remote work/collaboration, my focus will be on delivering these capabilities to create impact for every customer in every region, with industry leading Microsoft technologies at the center. Icouldn't be more excited to work with our global team of more than 6,500 professionals as we accelerate customers' transformation journey to innovate and adapt in a cloud-first world," says McNeil.
