Just call me a “Technical Evangelist” says Jeremy Boyd when asked to explain the breadth of his newly appointed role as a Microsoft Regional Director. 
Nominations take place every two years and JB’s appointment for 2004/2005 places him as one of only two Regional Director roles in NZ, with just 140 worldwide. 

The new role will see him working closely with Microsoft via mentoring, speaking, strategising and facilitating opportunities to ensure the wider NZ developer community gets access to ideas and information on existing and future Microsoft products and technologies.

The idea is that by bringing independent developers, architects and other experts together, it’s promoting the best and most informed link between Microsoft and developers worldwide.

“Think of a Regional Director as a direct communication channel with Microsoft and you’ll see the significance.  I will be taking views and issues to Microsoft; learning about new products and developments; and passing on ideas gained back to New Zealand clients. Definitely it’s an excellent voice for Intergen customers”.

“As a technical evangelist I look forward to talking more specifically about directions of new developments over the next two years”.
