Our agenda was packed, and with the huge investment in Azure Datacenters in UAE and the Gulf we met to agree our strategy on how we can help accelerate the workload adoption in these datacenters across Infrastructure, Security, Data & AI and Digital & App Innovation. 

The highlight of our trip was engaging with Microsoft's Azure Sales leadership for CEMA and the UAE. It was exciting to see how our Enterprise Cloud approach is effectively adaptable across any Microsoft region. This alignment is crucial as we continue to accelerate Azure adoption across this region.

A special thanks to Julien Bertin for inviting us and Stasa Podgorsek and Walid Ibrahim for co-ordinating on your side. We also want to thank some key people we meet over the two days for being so welcoming and taking the time to meet with us: Tamer Elhamy, Rima Semaan, Tilila El Moujahid, Dana Fawaz, Ksenia Ternavskykh, Paul Maddox, Sonia Ben Hamida, Raja Agrawal, Hatim Nagarwala

We are excited about the next steps in this journey and are committed to driving forward with innovation and collaboration at the forefront of our partnership with Microsoft.
