Work With Me

Let’s Talk About Modern Work

I create practical, experience-led content about Microsoft 365, SharePoint, and AI-ready ways of working — without the corporate jargon.

With over 20 years of experience working with Microsoft technologies, I bring a grounded, real-world perspective to SharePoint, Microsoft 365, and Copilot readiness — and I share it through Simply SharePoint with thousands of professionals worldwide.

Why Work With Me

What Makes This Partnership Different

Highly Engaged, Niche Audience

Newsletter open rates of 45–55% (more than double the industry average). These are decision-makers and implementers, not casual browsers.

Real-World Expertise

Over 20 years working with Microsoft technologies, focused on what actually works in real environments — not theory or fluff.

Authentic, Relatable Voice

A human, recognisable point of view that cuts through the noise (with a little Aussie humour and colour along the way).

Visual, Memorable Content

Workflow cards and visual education people actually save, share, and use — which means your brand gets noticed.

Aligned With Microsoft’s AI Direction

Content focused on Copilot readiness and strong foundations that support AI adoption — without the hype.

Multi-Channel Reach

An integrated ecosystem across newsletter, blog, Instagram, LinkedIn, and Pinterest — not just one channel.

Partnership Fit

What I’m Looking For

I’m selective about collaborations because authenticity matters to my audience. I only work with brands and opportunities that genuinely serve the community.

I’m excited to partner with:

Brands that prioritise education and user success (not just sales)

Products that solve real problems for Microsoft 365 professionals

Companies that value authenticity and transparency

Opportunities to speak, share expertise, and contribute to the community

Long-term relationships (not transactional one-offs)

I’m not a good fit for:

Products I haven’t personally tested or don’t believe in

Partnerships that require misleading or salesy content

Brands that don’t align with my values or audience needs

One-off transactional relationships with no ongoing value
