About Bala Venkataraman
I enjoy building solutions - starting from abstract ideas to a clean, simple and sustainable solution. I am an experienced Program Manager with a demonstrated history of working in the software industry. Skilled in requirements analysis, product roadmap, customer connects, project management and Agile methodologies. I currently work at Microsoft as a Principal PM. I own the Spark based integrations of Azure ML like Azure Databricks, Azure Synapse, enabling the big data aspects of Azure ML. Prior to this, I owned the device driver pipeline for Windows which enables partners to ingest and distribute their drivers in the Windows Ecosystem. Previously I worked on building products that helped our partners transact and grow their businesses with us. Prior to that I used to own several Finance products for Microsoft procurement, expense management and tax reporting. As a Product Owner, I work with multiple teams on a complex ecosystem which is intertwined and dependent on each other to light up any feature. I establish direct connects with my customers. My job includes defining the product roadmap, designing features and being the point of contact for all my internal and external stakeholders. I have experience working as an individual contributor as well as a people manager. I can go broad and deep. After all you can only strategize when you are close to reality.
