“For partners, I would say take ownership and control your own destiny. You have all the resources available you need to navigate these resources and programs. But having been in smaller companies, I believe in entrepreneurship. And I believe you if you clarify your goals and you take ownership and control your own destiny, and leverage your own experience your own best practices and differentiate through the Microsoft ecosystem, you will build an amazing business.“
