From the emergency services to government, Microsoft is committed to helping the UK public sector embrace digital transformation while navigating the ongoing demands created by the COVID-19 pandemic. Alan will play a critical role in driving success with our customers and partners in this sector.”
“I’m passionate about Microsoft’s role in the future prosperity of the UK and ambitious about what we can achieve to address the biggest challenges for government, said Lewis. “These range from how we change the relationship with citizens, data literacy in the provision and accessibility of services, and the part the UK plays on the world stage to tackle global issues such as sustainability, economics and security. I am excited about the opportunities this role at Microsoft will bring.”
