Christian Buckley

I am a Microsoft SharePoint MVP and Director of Product Evangelism at Axceler where I drive partner and community development. I previously worked at Microsoft as a Senior Program Manager on the enterprise hosted SharePoint platform (now part of Office365), and also spent 2 years as an Operations Manager, leading an engineering operations team in online advertising.

Prior to Microsoft, I co-founded a regional consulting firm (Red Hill Partners), and participated in a couple startups (E2open, NorthPoint Communications) including my own software company, Qoses, which I sold to Rational Software in 2001. I went on to co-found a non-profit (eBIG.org) which was later merged into another non-profit (TechVentures, funded by Lockheed Martin). Through these experiences, I was able to help develop and then deploy collaboration, social, and supply chain solutions.

In my spare time (ha!), I have co-authored a book on SharePoint solutions, three books on IBM Rational configuration management and defect tracking solutions, published hundreds of articles and papers, and currently sit on the boards of two non-profits (StoryOfMyLifeFoundation.org and Social Enterprises Inc.) and am an advisor at SnapWorkSocial.

I am a very active member of the SharePoint community, speaking regularly on SharePoint migration, administration, social informatics, and general best practices topics. I am currently working on an ebook on the social features in SharePoint, and am thinking about writing a book on SharePoint information architecture.

I am a SharePoint expert on AIIM.org, regularyl contribute to CMSWire, ECM Connection, SharePointProMagazine, and NothingButSharePoint.com, and can be found online at buckleyplanet.com and twitter.com/buckleyplanet
