BIO
As Corporate Vice President at Microsoft, I lead the Fabric Team in Azure Data, spanning Fabric platform engineering, Fabric Real-Time Intelligence, Fabric IQ, Azure Messaging Services, and Microsoft Observability. I oversee a 2,000+ person global engineering, PM, and UX organization building the next generation of data and AI infrastructure.
Before expanding my current scope, I was focused on building Fabric Real-Time Intelligence, where I created the vision and drove the execution; scaling it from concept to over $100M ARR in under 12 months, making it one of the fastest-growing workloads in Fabric. That foundation now powers Fabric’s broader mission: helping organizations observe, reason, and act on data in real time, through experiences that reduce cognitive load and make complex systems feel simple, reliable, and actionable, all built with a laser focus on quality, resiliency, and reliability.
We are moving from an era of manual analytical decisions to autonomous decision making. By unifying Observability, Real-Time Intelligence, analytics, and Fabric IQ into a single platform, Microsoft Fabric becomes the nervous system of the modern enterprise: a unified intelligence layer that continuously senses what’s happening across the data estate, reasons over real-time context, and determines what to do next. This is the foundation for the next generation of AI agents and autonomous systems that don’t just report on the world, but continuously sense it, reason over it, and respond in real time.
