I would like to especially thank my wife Carina Godoy de Sinay and
my kids who have been positive and unconditional supporters.
I would also like to thank my clients, my colleagues, Microsoft
MVPs, the Microsoft CRM product team, and my partners who have
provided invaluable opportunities for me to expand my knowledge
and shape my career.
