About Dave Grochocki
Product leader with 10+ years of experience building scalable, AI-powered experiences and platforms used by hundreds of millions of Windows customers. I combine UX fluency, systems thinking, and platform-level technical depth to translate user needs into scalable platform strategies and durable product investments that modernize and monetize Windows apps. I lead end-to-end product and investment strategy for 30+ Windows apps—including Paint, Photos, Notepad, Snipping Tool, and Media Player—where I’ve defined Copilot+ AI experiences, established new monetization models, and led UX modernization and AI model integration across on-device and cloud-based systems. I am passionate about turning emerging technology into tangible user value and building high-trust teams that deliver.
