Background

About Alan Stephenson

I believe that a good PM has to be adaptable, and my varied background has given me a broad set of base skills and the ability to quickly ramp up in new areas and then dig deep where needed. How I like to work “Alan actively looks for opportunities to help others be successful, while learning from others with no hesitation. He is mentoring PMs across Azure and has been the technical advisor to the broader team to help them succeed.” – One of my reviews Similar quotes show up on over half of my reviews. I solidly believe in ongoing learning for myself, mentoring others, pulling people in for more thought out plans and so all voices are heard, generally helping others succeed, and building better relationships through clear communication, honesty, and trust between organizations, teams, and people.
