Jonathan Stypula, an entrepreneur at heart, leads numerous Microsoft Dynamics initiatives. He is best known as the founder and President of sa.global. Jon’s motivation for creating sa.global stemmed from his years of experience as a management consultant dealing with complex technology deployments. Through that experience, he developed a passion for business applications as a tool to make decisions quickly and accurately. Over the years, he utilized that knowledge and expertise to lead enterprise implementations in the United States, Europe, and Asia. Jon is a frequent conference presenter and podcast guest, providing insight on Microsoft community topics.
Jon studied engineering and astrophysics, but quickly realized it wasn’t the career for him. His business initiatives and methods reflect the engineering training acquired through his education and internships. Accuracy, Lean processes, and predictability are touchstones for clients who work with Jon and his teams.
In 2020, Jon added the development of an online education portal (Skill-Up) and online events (DynamicsCon) to an ever-expanding list of programs supporting the Microsoft Dynamics community. Jon initiated these programs to provide affordable training and community networking to Dynamics and Power Platform user professionals. More than 10,000 community members joined the programs in their first year, and the initiatives continue to grow. In addition to his work with DUG, Jon also sits on the Microsoft Community UG and Microsoft Dynamics Academic Alliance boards of advisors.
Outside of work, Jon volunteers at several NGO’s in his local community and abroad. He enjoys spending time with his family, gardening, and tinkering with new technology.
