Let’s introduce you to Liz, the unstoppable force in the Microsoft Tech industry! With a BS in Human Resource Development and an MBA to boot, Liz has spent over a decade mastering Dynamics & the Microsoft stack. Her journey began as an “accidental” internal CRM admin, where she spent three years mastering the ropes. It was during this time that she met her partner-in-crime, Ashley, and together they tackled the challenges of the role and discovered their shared passion for Dynamics. From there, After her successful stint as an internal CRM admin, Liz’s career took off in exciting new directions. She gained valuable experience and diversity by holding a variety of roles, including training, sales, delivery, and management for multiple Microsoft Partners. But it wasn’t until Liz took the leap and became an independent consultant that she truly found her groove. Since then, Liz has been on a wild ride, including meeting her friend Ali during a project with CHS. Her passion for training and development inspired her to start TechFluent, a non-profit that brings career opportunities to underrepresented communities in the Microsoft Tech industry. And the icing on the cake? Liz recently received the prestigious Microsoft Business Applications MVP award in 2022, a true testament to her expertise and dedication to the industry!

Ashley started her career in Digital Marketing but found a love for connecting business processes with technology when she started using Dynamics as an end user with version 4.0. After learning how to customize version 2011 in a broom closet, Ashley decided to make Dynamics her full-time career and passion and chase jobs, speaking opportunities, user groups, webinars, and networking opportunities all over the country. Ashley enjoys enabling the salesperson’s CRM experience to increase productivity, organization, and sales funnel. Ashley earned the Microsoft Business Applications MVP award in early 2022. Ashley met Liz when both of their companies were purchased by the same parent company. Ashley and Liz were able to stay friends with the help of the community and shared a dream to give back to the same community that helped them get a start. After meeting Ali and becoming friends, we decided to bring her along for the ride!

After completing a college career focused on conservation and biology, Ali started working for a tree care company and quickly learned her professional passions were with process improvement and technology. While at Davey Tree, Ali built a training program on CRM 2011, SAP, and customer service skills for office managers throughout the US, and a training program for salespeople on CRM 2011. In addition, Ali traveled throughout the US to manage mergers and acquisitions to ensure a seamless transition. Through all of these experiences, Ali found herself energized by helping people to become more efficient and better understand their technology platforms. After this, Ali went to work at CHS to continue educating people on the Dynamics 365 platform as the Training Manager and Business Analyst for the Dynamics 365 CE team where she worked on projects across the Agriculture industry (Agronomy, Grain Procurement, Energy, Global Trade, and Patronage). An adventurer at heart, Ali loves traveling, eating just about anything (at least once), meeting new people, and learning new things. She’d be happy to spend all day outside hiking, kayaking, canoeing, camping, snowboarding paddleboarding, or playing tennis and pickleball. She looks forward to sharing knowledge with you and learning from you!
