Kimberly Fuqua

With almost thirty years in the technology industry, I’ve learned that customer experience isn’t a department, it’s the engine that powers transformation.

As Director of Customer Experience for Microsoft’s EMEA Region, I lead high-impact strategies and cross-cultural teams to help some of the world’s most influential organizations achieve their boldest ambitions. My expertise spans customer experience strategy, operational excellence, digital transformation, and enterprise account management, always anchored in outcomes that matter most to the customer.

Beyond Microsoft, I am the Founder of Luminous Leaders (kimberlyfuqua.com) a leadership platform designed to help executives, entrepreneurs, and emerging leaders own their narrative, speak with impact, and build inclusive cultures where diversity, equity, inclusion, and belonging aren’t just values they’re lived realities.

🎤 As a keynote speaker and executive coach, I equip leaders with the skills to communicate with confidence, navigate change, and inspire high-performing teams.

💼 As a business leader, I deliver customer-centric strategies that consistently exceed revenue, margin, and satisfaction goals.

🌍 As an Inclusive Leadership advocate, I bring cultural intelligence, storytelling, and change management expertise to every conversation.
