Microsoft's Justin Shagam joins nexwave

AI-native consultancy nexwave has appointed Justin Shagam as director of growth and partnerships.

With more than 25 years of IT leadership experience, he joins nexwave following a decade at Microsoft, where he held several senior roles including cloud and AI platform lead, technology strategist, and strategic partner recruit lead.

“It enhances our ability to shape scalable Data, App, and AI programs; deepens our executive engagement capability; and connects our delivery teams with Microsoft’s broader ecosystem of partners and innovation.”

“After more than a decade inside Microsoft, I wanted to bring together everything I’d learned from partner enablement to customer advocacy,” said Shagam.

“nexwave represents the epitome of the modern Microsoft partner: “deeply technical, commercially savvy, agile in execution, and relentlessly focused on delivering customer success.”
