About Franziska Pilger
In a past life I led crisis response efforts for Fortune 500 companies, managed complex public relations campaigns, internal communications strategies, and developed executive platforms and media relations strategies for the C-Suite. I currently lead communications within Microsoft Azure, driving storytelling and thought leadership campaigns across the many services and technologies that make up our multi-faceted, industry leading cloud platform. I\'m a strategizer, implementer and deliverer with a proven track record of influencing media and the C-suite, and building a strategic and positive impact across teams and organizations. I never settle for less than exceptional; even on weekends.
Experience
Full-time
Jul 2023 — Present · Redmond, WA, US
I support executive communications for the Chief Product Officer and help shape how we tell the Azure Infrastructure story to the world, partnering closely with our executives, engineers, and product leaders to bring complex cloud and AI infra topics to life. From working across teams to craft keynotes and product narratives, to developing strategic thought leadership and social media platforms for the C-suite, my focus is on making sure Azure’s story is clear, compelling, and impactful. I thrive on helping leaders strengthen their external visibility and positioning, and creating novel ways to communicate Microsoft’s vision for innovation and customer value.
