   Leading a 31-person team that turns frontier AI into measurable business outcomes. We own the end-to-end go-to-market for Azure AI Foundry across the Azure AI portfolio: Foundry Models (with OpenAI, Grok, Mistral AI, NVIDIA, Cohere, and others), Foundry Agent Service (managed runtime to deploy and scale enterprise agents), Foundry Knowledge (indexing and retrieval that grounds agents in enterprise data across Microsoft 365, Fabric, apps, and the web), Foundry Tools (a governed catalog to safely connect APIs and systems), and the Foundry Control Plane (identity, policy, and observability). We partner across Microsoft 365, Azure, Fabric, and GitHub to help customers build secure, compliant, and cost-efficient AI solutions.My organization focuses on product marketing fundamentals at enterprise scale: positioning and narrative, launches, pricing and packaging, analyst and partner strategy, field and seller enablement, competitive and market intelligence, customer evidence, and measurable pipeline impact. We work tightly with Engineering and Sales to translate customer insight into roadmap clarity and adoption, instrument for activation and time-to-value, and equip builders and IT leaders with repeatable playbooks to take agents from pilot to production—grounded in their data, tools, and processes, with real model choice and an open, interoperable path forward.
