Stacey Dickinson has been in the training industry for over 25 years. Her professional career began at a technology company in a management and marketing support role specializing in the legal market.

In 1989 she began working for Microsoft teaching customers to administer, design and implement databases on Microsoft SQL Server version 1.0. She continued working on the product in both training and courseware development through version 7.0. As a training manager at Microsoft, Stacey owned all training for Program Managers and Marketers in the Product Groups.

In 1994, she left Microsoft to start her own training consulting business, Solutions View, Inc. Initially her focus remained in teaching and courseware development on relational databases and related technologies, project management, and marketing.
