Meet the people on stage

The Valo Summit is full of great sessions from our Valo Team members and carefully selected guest speakers. This year we are existed to have Joanne C. Klein on stage with us.

Joanne C. Klein

MVP,
SharePoint & Office 365 Consultant

Joanne Klein is an independent consultant and founder of NexNovus, an Office 365 Consulting company, and a 3-time Microsoft MVP in Office Apps & Services. She works with Microsoft customers across all industry verticals on their Office 365 environments, specifically SharePoint, and provides value by sharing her boots-on-the-ground knowledge and experience with them. She helps customers through their modernization journey from the classic to modern world of SharePoint site and information architecture.

An important area of focus for Joanne is the modern digital workplace and the Microsoft 365 suite of tools built within it to help organizations protect, retain, and secure their unstructured content now being produced at an exponential rate. This requires an all-important shift for organizations, IT staff, and information workers to make and she has substantial practical experience working with customers to make this happen.
