About

Andrew J. Price – Senior Office 365 Architect at Fujitsu UK

Andrew has been working within the IT Market for over 18 years from a snotty 17-year-old working at a Private Hospital providing IT Services to its staff and patient to his current role at Fujitsu UK. He has been away from the IT community for a number of years but recently decided to jump back in and launch the Microsoft Spotlight Podcast with his co-host Jon Jarvis. In the past, Andrew was recognized by Microsoft and awarded an MVP status for his contributions to the Office Servers and Services Category. Where he created the UK’s first community-driven conference dedicated to Skype for Business, Exchange, and Office 365 as well as a number of User Groups that operated in Birmingham, Manchester, and London.

He is really excited to bring a new chapter to the IT Community and challenge diversity, equality, and inclusion by casting the spotlight on IT Professionals around the globe and not just the technologies we work with.
