February 2024 – Leading digital transformation company ANS has appointed Kyle Hill as its new Technical Services Delivery Director to lead on delivering value for customers through digitalisation. Based in Manchester, ANS provides managed service solutions including cloud, security, and digital to SMBs, enterprises and public sector.
With over 12 years of experience in technology advisory services both in the UK and in South Africa, Hill is a Microsoft Regional Director (RD) and Business Applications Microsoft Most Valuable Professional (MVP). He brings a wealth of technical knowledge to his new role and has most recently worked as a Senior Director and Business Applications Leader at tech advisory firm Avanade to provide digital and cloud advisory services.
As one of only 190 Microsoft Regional Directors (RDs) globally, Hill works together with Microsoft and businesses to gather real-world business insights and translate these into realised value. ANS currently prides itself on having six Microsoft MVPs which bolsters its capabilities, best practice knowledge and deep market understanding.
Kyle Hill said: “Communicating the value of technology to customers is the most important aspect of my work as the biggest challenge that businesses face when it comes to digital transformation is aversion to risk. Through my work and close connection with Microsoft, I’m able to help organisations mitigate risk and get the most from the Microsoft technology stack.”
As Technical Services Delivery Director, Hill will work closely with ANS customers that want to accelerate their digital transformation. He will be responsible for strengthening the professional services function by providing leadership, structure, and consistency to his team. He will be heavily involved with the progression of people at ANS, ensuring that tech talent development remains a priority.
Richard Thompson, CEO of ANS commented: “Welcoming Kyle will enable our talented and driven teams to expand and continue delivering expertise at the highest level. With his market-leading experience working on the most complex tech transformation challenges in the field, Kyle will play a valuable role in helping to develop our people to achieve incredible results for our clients and our community.”
Kyle Hill added: “After spending over a decade with some of the leading tech transformation advisory teams in the industry, I’m thrilled to be joining the talented team at ANS. The breadth and complexity of the work that ANS does is an exciting challenge for me and I’m looking forward to working with clients on new projects to help them achieve their digitalisation goals and potential.
“With digitalisation becoming an even greater need for businesses of all sizes, leading a team to help deliver on processes like cloud transformation and AI adoption, will help to show businesses the true value of investing in transformation services.”
