About Itai Goldstein

Hey there! I\'m Itai, an experienced Senior Product Manager dedicated to shaping innovative features that simplify people\'s lives. With a proven track record, I\'ve been deeply involved in building and enhancing features for Microsoft Excel since 2017, driven by a huge passion to make organizations be more productive and efficient.In my current role at Microsoft Excel, I specialize in building features for Excel, primarily for the web app and beyond. From AI-driven solutions, like Copilot, to improving Excel fundamentals such as formula authoring, I consistently strive to bring a unique perspective and look at the product from the user\'s point of view. My approach involves a meticulous blend of data driven decision making and customer obsession.An international perspective enriches my approach, as I relocated from Israel to the US with my family in 2022, as part of my work at Microsoft. Leading cross-disciplinary global feature crews, I coordinate seamlessly with engineering, design and research teams to deliver cutting-edge solutions.Beyond my product management expertise, I hold a BSc in Industrial Engineering and Management, as well as a BA in Economics. Both acquired at the Technion - Israel Institute of Technology, providing a solid foundation for understanding the intricacies of technology and business.Outside the corporate realm, I volunteer as a mentor for young entrepreneurs. When not immersed in the tech world, you\'ll find me exploring the globe, hiking in the nature, and passionately engaging in soccer - be it playing, watching, discussing or even refereeing.Last but certainly not least, I\'m a fortunate husband and a proud father to 2 young boys, who ultimately, are the center of my life.
