In this latest edition of People of Purview, we are excited to spotlight Karen Lopez. Karen is a seasoned data architect and passionate advocate for the Microsoft community. With decades of experience and a longstanding commitment to data management excellence, Karen has shaped the way organizations approach data governance and collaboration. Join us as she shares insights from her remarkable journey, her experiences with Microsoft technologies—from the days of MS-DOS to the cutting edge of Purview—and what continues to inspire her as a leader and mentor in the data world. Read on to meet Karen Lopez: Data Governance Leader and Community Champion! Let's get this Purview Party started, Karen! How long have you been working with Microsoft products, as well as Purview specifically? I'm not sure I can remember that far back. I first started working with SQL Server 7.0, so that's about 1998. However, the first product I worked with was MS-DOS, then Windows when it was released. At the US Department of Defense, I even worked on Wang PCs with MS-DOS. As a data architect and data management professional, I worked with Azure Data Catalog when it first came out. I was happy to see Microsoft move in the data world beyond databases and storage. I of course moved to the first versions of Purview to take advantage of the data classification and lineage functions. Data governance is a big part of my practice, so this was a good fit. I'm looking forward to learning more about Microsoft 365 compliance features, and then whatever AI features it will be getting. How (and when) did you get involved in the Microsoft Community? Tell us about your journey! I became a Microsoft MVP (SQL Server, now Data Platform) about 14 years ago. My technology areas are Azure SQL DB and Microsoft Purview - Data Governance. I spent time speaking at Microsoft user groups and conferences Along the way, I founded a SQL Server User Group in Toronto. I'm also a Microsoft Certified Trainer and I'm always working on passing a new exam so I can train in that area. What do you find most rewarding about being a community member? Meeting others who are working towards the same goals as I am. User groups and conferences are like mini-family reunions to me. We talk about work, life, and families. We share hobbies like running and space exploration. We debate contentious design patterns, toolsets, and project techniques. I've made friends over the years who share the same data passions as I do — plus a lot more. "What I like about Microsoft in 2025 is that our community recognizes that we work with tools and software from outside the Microsoft ecosystem. That's one of the things I like about Purview: it supports data governance for all our data inventory." What advice do you have for others who would like to get involved in their Microsoft Community? Jump on social media like Bluesky and LinkedIn to meet others around the world. Talk about your work, ask questions, get into debates, and share your wins. Then plan on making it to local and global events to meet others. Start writing about your experiences. It could be a blog, or just an article or newsletter on LinkedIn. Don't forget to attend virtual meetings, too.  Anything else you’d like to share? 👩‍🚀👠I love that I can mix my interest in data and space as a NASA Datanaut. We help citizen scientists work with NASA and other space agency open data. In fact, almost all my demos use NASA open data. My two favourites are Meteorite Landings and US & Russian EVA (space walks) data. My other nerd fun is to mentor and judge data-driven hackathons. I'm a frequent volunteer for Microsoft Imagine Cup and the NASA Space Apps Challenge. I travel with a mascot or two: usually astronaut Barbies. It sounds weird, but they get invited to space agencies and astronaut conferences all over the world and I get to tag along. It has been fun. I usually have space swag to share during my talks and the events I attend. Where can people find you? I blog at www.datamodel.com. I'm on Bluesky as datachick@bksy.social. My favourite book is always the one I last read, so I don't have one to recommend. Karen is based in Toronto, Ontario, Canada and works as a Data Evangelist for InfoAdvisors. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Stay tuned to meet more People of Purview!

Meet Nikki Chapple, from the London area of the UK, Principal Cloud Architect at CloudWay, and Microsoft MVP and Customer Connection Program member! Nikki has worked with Microsoft products for over 10 years, although her IT career spans four decades, starting in the days of paper tape and punch cards! Her background is in enterprise architecture, translating business needs into practical technical solutions. Nikki specializes in data governance, security, and change management, helping organizations adopt Microsoft 365 in a way that prioritizes people, processes, and policy, not just technology. Read on to learn more about Nikki, her experience with Microsoft Communities, and her favorite resources to share! To kick this off, tell us about your start with Microsoft Purview; when and why? I began focusing on Microsoft Purview with the rise of Microsoft Teams. I viewed it as a chance to rethink how organizations manage collaboration, prioritizing people, processes, and governance. Microsoft Purview is now essential to my work, helping organizations protect sensitive data, comply with regulations, and integrate governance into daily practices. It's about creating a trusted digital workplace where security, transparency, and user empowerment are key. When did you begin your involvement in the Microsoft Community? Tell us about your journey. I’ve been a Microsoft MVP for three years. My journey began before this, as I shared my experiences through blogs and speaking engagements. I've found that sharing our experiences, both successes and challenges, can be incredibly inspiring and motivating for others. Connecting with others who are passionate about Microsoft 365 and Purview has been inspiring and rewarding. What do you find most rewarding about being a community member? The most rewarding aspect is the people, connecting with others who share a passion for Microsoft Purview, innovation, and lifelong learning. The community is a continuous source of inspiration, insights, and support. Whether through events, forums, or collaboration, there's always a chance to grow, share, and give back. What advice do you have for others wanting to get involved in their Microsoft Community? Start small: Join forums or webinars. Share what you know in blogs, talks, or conversations. Be consistent and stay curious. Connect with others and give back when you can. Everyone has something valuable to contribute! Can you tell us more about your Microsoft Customer Connection Program (MCCP) Experience? How has it helped you, your customers, and fellow community members? Being part of the Microsoft Purview CCP has allowed me to share real-world customer scenarios directly with the product team, ensuring our clients' voices are heard. This direct line of communication has significantly boosted customer confidence and loyalty as they see their feedback shaping the platform's evolution. Knowing that their challenges are being addressed reassures them that their investment in Microsoft 365 is secure and future-proof. As a Principal Cloud Architect, I collaborate closely with customers to understand their specific needs and challenges. By influencing the design of Purview features based on these insights, I help create highly relevant and practical solutions. This real-world application results in faster adoption and greater satisfaction, as clients see immediate benefits in their day-to-day operations. The CCP provides early access to new features through private preview programs, a strategic advantage for planning governance and compliance strategies for my clients. As an MVP and consultant, this is especially advantageous when working with large or regulated organizations, where preparation and alignment with internal controls are essential. Furthermore, it enables me to share practical insights through my blog "nikkichapple.com" and my podcast "All Things M365 Compliance", benefiting the wider community. Anything else you’d like to share? I’m passionate about making complex topics like compliance and governance more accessible. Whether through writing, presenting, or mentoring, I love helping others build confidence in this space, especially those just starting their journey in Microsoft 365. Do you have anything you’d like to promote or recommend? (your blog or podcast, an article you recommend, a book everyone should read, etc.) I share my insights at nikkichapple.com, focusing on data security, governance, and compliance topics that matter. Additionally, I co-host the All Things M365 Compliance video podcast, where I team up with Ryan John Murphy from Microsoft and a former MVP to explore everything about Microsoft 365 Purview. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________ Stay tuned to meet more People of Purview!

It is our pleasure to introduce you to Microsoft Purview practitioner and MVP, Victor Wingsing Jr., who hails from “the bright and sunny London, United Kingdom” and currently serves as a Senior Manager in Technology Consulting at Protiviti. Victor has been working on Exchange and Windows since 2006, when his first tech job gave him the opportunity to work on Windows XP Migration and Exchange 2007 administration, which was also his very first Microsoft Certification! He has been working with Purview for five years. How (and when) did you get involved in the Microsoft Community? (Customer Connection Program, MVP, etc) Tell us about your journey! I've been part of the CCP for the past 3 years and the MVP community this past year when I got my MVP recognition. The CCP has been great since it has helped me get ahead of my tech learning. Each CCP call that I've attended has allowed me to immerse myself in Microsoft Security solutions. These then translated to me being able to better explain the technology to my clients. Learn More About the Customer Connection Program (CCP) What do you find most rewarding about being a community member? I find that the most rewarding part is connecting with the community. My pool of contacts and resources has significantly grown after being a member. The other thing that I value about the program is the connection with the Microsoft product groups during the Product Group feedback session. I know that we are being heard as I see our feedback from years back being introduced as part of the solution. What advice do you have for others who would like to get involved in their Microsoft Community? Get started today. You don't need to be an expert to join.
