About Partner Evangelism

If this is the first time you’ve heard of Partner Evangelism, let us take a minute to bring you up to speed. A Partner Evangelist is a member of the Microsoft Developer and Platform Evangelism (DPE) Partner Team whose overall mission is to grow awareness and promote adoption of new and emerging developer related technologies. The Partner Evangelist Role is a business development and technical role focused on the Partner relationship, specifically those partners with a practice dedicated to building custom developed solutions (typically System Integrators).
