Microsoft Inspire 2022: Chief Partner Officer Nicole Dezen Says It’s ‘Never Been A Better Time’ For Partners

What’s Top Of Mind This Year

I’m really excited about what lies ahead in our fiscal (year, or FY) ’23 for Microsoft and for our partners.

Our strategies and priorities are the foundation for how we grow and scale this partner ecosystem. And I'm really committed to helping our partners realize the full potential of opportunities that are available to them when we work together.

For me, what's most top of mind and fiscal ’23 will be continuing to deliver impact to our partners in three unique ways.

First, by delivering cloud innovation. Through the Microsoft Cloud, we provide the most comprehensive end-to-end tech stack with lasting impact for our partners in support of their customers’ digital transformation.

Second, enabling go-to-market scale. With the unique Microsoft go to market approach, partners can quickly scale with Microsoft’s 35,000-plus global sellers and through our commercial marketplace that connects millions of customers around the world.

And finally, offering differentiation. Microsoft provides trusted partnership, unique technical extensibility, a secure foundation and the broadest business model for partners to build differentiated solutions to support customers. I am so ready for FY ’23 and really excited to be accelerating the business with our partners.
