Dare Podgornik

Senior Partner Development Manager at Microsoft Corporation
Slovenia

Dare is currently managing Distributor and Partner Channel at Commercial Device Solution Sales organization for Adriatic region, having broad field experiences dealing with different sales and Anti-piracy motions in Microsoft since 2008.

Over the years, he has witnessed the transformation of software piracy from an open, user‑transparent practice into a monetized and deliberately obscured distribution model. The implementation of Anti-piracy activities by intellectual property owners also had to adapt to this change.
