ABOUT ME

____

My name is Craig Stones I am an EUC Enterprise Architect for APAC at Teba, Australia's unrivalled End User Computing (EUC) specialist. With over 40 years of experience in the IT industry, I have built a career helping organizations design, transform, and optimize digital workspaces through innovative End User Computing, cloud, virtualization, and mobility solutions.

I have been recognized as a Citrix Technology Professional (CTP) since 2021, was awarded Microsoft MVP for Azure Virtual Desktop (AVD) and Windows 365 in 2024, and in 2026 I was honored to be named both a Nutanix Technology Champion (NTC) and a Nerdio Valued Professional (NVP). These recognitions reflect my ongoing commitment to technical excellence, innovation, and community contribution across the EUC ecosystem.

In 2024, following the closure of the Citrix User Groups, I co-founded World of EUC APAC to provide a new home for the End User Computing community across the Asia Pacific region. Starting with a single chapter, the community has since grown to more than 11 chapters throughout APAC, bringing together customers, partners, vendors, and technology enthusiasts to share knowledge, experiences, and best practices.

Throughout my career, I have developed deep expertise across the leading EUC platforms, including Citrix, Microsoft Azure Virtual Desktop (AVD), Windows 365, Omnissa, Nutanix, and Nerdio. My experience extends across virtualization, cloud computing, digital workspaces, mobility, and enterprise infrastructure, with hands-on knowledge spanning VMware, Microsoft Azure, and Nutanix platforms.

One of my greatest strengths is the ability to translate business objectives into practical, scalable technology solutions. As an architect and consultant, I enjoy working closely with organizations to understand their challenges and design solutions that not only meet technical requirements but also deliver measurable business outcomes.

I am passionate about technology, innovation, and continuous improvement. My approach has always been to challenge conventional thinking, embrace new ideas, and help organizations stay ahead in an ever-evolving technology landscape. I often say that my goal is not simply to solve problems, but to "dissolve problems" by finding smarter, more sustainable ways to achieve success.

Equally important to me is the technology community. I strongly believe in sharing knowledge, mentoring others, and helping develop the next generation of IT professionals. Whether speaking at industry events, leading community initiatives, or collaborating with peers and customers, I am committed to empowering others through education, advocacy, and real-world experience.

Today, I continue to focus on helping organizations across the Asia Pacific region embrace the future of End User Computing while contributing to the communities and technologies that have shaped my career.

Specialties: End User Computing (EUC), Citrix, Azure Virtual Desktop (AVD), Windows 365, Omnissa, Nutanix, Nerdio, VMware, Cloud Computing, Virtualization, Digital Workspaces, Mobility, Enterprise Architecture, Solution Design, Community Leadership, and Technology Strategy.
