Oh wow this is an amazing one! I’ve been awarded the Microsoft MVP 2026 for Data Platform! Power BI specifically!
Genuinely can’t believe it! It has been so great giving back to the community in many many ways that originally helped me build Prism. Something that has shaped my life and career massively!
So many people I can thank here, it’s amazing how many people have supported me along the way.
First of all, of course a massive thanks to Kristine Kolodziejski 🏎️for helping me build up, guiding me through everything and ultimately nominating me! Thankyou so so much, it means so much to me it really does!
Secondly, of course thankyou to my family, who have been dealing with me talking about and writing blogs at random points in the week, attending conferences up and down the country and hearing about Prism and PowerBI for the 100th time that day!
Thankyou for the amazing support I’ve had from Charlotte Henigan Simon Williams Wesley Worland and all of Trustmarque who have pushed me, guided me forward and let me create and build with such an incredible group of colleagues, customers and community all the same.
So many faces, past and new have been there to push me forward, give feedback, offer kind words and just motivate me in every way possible!
This list could be ten times longer without a doubt but here goes with more thanks! Chris Phillips Damien Masterson Kathryn Reeves Emma Hurrell David Warner II Jordan Berger Sean Hannah Chloe Picton Russell Payne
Thankyou so much for everything, you are all just amazing!
