Still buzzing after ESPC, I was lucky enough to hand my book Mastering Microsoft 365 and SharePoint Online to Adam Harmetz, VP of Product at Microsoft.
It was one of those small moments that somehow carries a lot of meaning.
When we spend years working with a platform, building on top of it, solving problems around it, and watching it evolve release after release, we also end up following the people helping shape that journey. Adam has been part of SharePoint’s evolution for years, helping guide its transformation with vision, clarity, and a remarkable ability to balance innovation with real-world needs.
That balance is not easy.
It is one thing to push a platform forward. It is another thing entirely to do it in a way that still respects the realities of customers, teams, architects, admins, developers, and all the people who rely on it every single day.
That is one of the reasons I have so much respect for his work.
Adam’s leadership has helped shape the way millions of people collaborate every day. SharePoint has gone through massive changes across the years, and behind that kind of long-term success there are always people with the ability to see both the big picture and the practical impact.
To be able to place my book in his hands was, for me, a genuinely special moment.
Not just because of the symbolic side of it, but because the book itself comes from many years of hands-on work, lessons learned in the field, community conversations, and a lot of passion for Microsoft 365 and SharePoint Online. Sharing it with someone who has had such an important role in the platform’s journey felt full circle in the best possible way.
And on top of all that… he’s really awesome 🤠
Moments like this are a great reminder of why conferences matter so much. They bring together the community, the product teams, the builders, the storytellers, and the people who keep pushing the ecosystem forward.
I am very grateful for this one.
