Senior Program Manager - Azure Data at Microsoft
Senior PM - Azure Engineering at Microsoft
Data is the key to understanding our businesses, our customers, and the world around us. In this digital age, making sure we have the right data at the right time is critical to success. As a program manager, making data accessible is my goal. I bridge the gap between decision makers and engineering to ensure that the right architecture and tools are in place to deliver analytics. I drive innovation in how we think about data and the insights it provides to us as companies, as a community, and as people.
