Chair Elieen Brown Microsoft
Eileen Brown decided that moving into IT was an interesting way to combine her hobby with a career after spending 10 years as a Navigating Officer in the Merchant Navy. After working for Shell Tankers and Canadian Pacific ships, she came ashore to work for a container shipping company as a planner and stowage expert on the round-the-world service. Moving into IT she migrated the company from their existing Mainframe email to a Windows based system. She then worked as a Technical consultant joining Microsoft in 2001. She moved to the Evangelism group in 2004 and currently manages the team of Technical Evangelists. She is responsible for Collaboration technologies and maintains a successful blog. However, her life isn't spent entirely at her laptop. Away from work, she makes jam and chutney in awesome quantities, tends her flock of chickens, grows organic vegetables and fruit and races around the countryside in her home built 6.6 litre cobra replica car. As much as possible, whenever she encounters warmer waters, she scuba dives as much as possible to get away from the phone .
