Microsoft has promoted Margo Day to vice president for U.S. Partners. Day had been general manager of that group. In her new capacity, she continues to report to Andy Lees, corporate vice president, U.S. marketing, sales and partners. Her promotion was made official inside the company earlier this month but was not disclosed publicly. Several solution providers gave Day high marks for her channel advocacy.

"She exemplifies the channel-friendly, energetic execution of programs, partnerships and initiatives Microsoft really needs to revitalize [its] commitment to partners," said Rand Morimoto, CEO of Convergent Computing, an Oakland, Calif. Microsoft solution provider. "Margo is an exceptional listener and communicator....people put their trust in her and she does not disappoint."
