David Guest | Solution Architect and Technology Evangelist
I translate technobabble into plain English.
`
As Kocho’s Solution Architect and Technology Evangelist, I’m responsible for a lot of different things.
I’ve worked in identity and security for the last 20+ years and have worked with technologies including Unix, Linux, IBM, Novell, and many others. This wide range of experience helps me design and implement great solutions on behalf of our clients.
I’m responsible for putting together solutions around identity, security, Microsoft 365, and other cloud services. All the while making sure that our clients understand the current trends around technology, such as identity in the Cloud (and on-premises).
I’m a regular presenter at our events and Microsoft roadshows, presenting to large and small audiences, and trying to turn technobabble into something resembling English.
My ‘Become greater’ ambition is to see that our clients are well-advised and can implement their strategy to become greater through technology.
I feel great when heading downhill on snow, ideally under a blue sky, completing a long run or making a last-ditch tackle.
