ABOUT SEBASTIEN GRANGE

I sell AI to large enterprises. I also build AI agents at home. That gap — between what gets demoed in boardrooms and what actually runs in production — is where I spend most of my time. Both professionally and personally. At Microsoft, I work with C-suite and IT leadership at enterprise accounts across France to move their cloud and AI strategies forward on Azure, Copilot, and M365. The real work isn\'t the pitch. It\'s what happens after — when a pilot stalls, when a use case turns out to be harder than the slide suggested, when adoption is slower than anyone planned. That\'s the conversation I\'m built for. Outside of work, I run a personal AI assistant on an Azure VM, automate my home with Home Assistant, and publish a blog on everyday AI at sebastiengrange.com. Not as side projects — as a way to stay honest about what the technology actually does when nobody\'s watching the demo. Two-time Microsoft Sales Champion (Q2 2022 and Q4 2023) on the Azure business. 23 years in tech, including 7 at IBM before joining Microsoft in 2012. I\'m based in Lyon, focused on the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region, and always open to a direct conversation — reach out anytime.
