Richard Young

I am currently a Principal Consultant working for Lenovo Professional Services based in the UK although I cover the whole of the EMEA region. I specialise in all things hybrid cloud with a particular focus on Microsoft Azure, Azure Stack Hub, and Azure Stack HCI. I work with customers to understand their journey to the cloud and ensure that the solutions we propose for them match their requirements. I get involved as part of the sales cycle and also as part of the delivery team to ensure the solution is delivered to best practice with regards to performance. I have extensive knowledge around Microsoft Azure covering the complete ecosystem when it comes to Azure. I currently hold both the MCSA and MCSE qualifications for Azure alongside the old MCPD certification for Azure development. In my spare time I am a keen cyclist and have undertaken the Big Battlefield Bike Ride in support of Help for Heroes on a couple of occasions. I am married with two grown up children and two grandchildren with another due this year.
