About Zach Kramer

Over 20+ years at Microsoft I have grown a career, family, and learned a ton about building organizations, delivering complex systems, and answering the asks of some of the most demanding customers in the world. At the core of it, I have enjoyed the problems – creating the path to resolution of what seemed impossible and driving clarity with the team is something that has been a constant across all of my roles.Under my leadership, multiple cloud technology teams are working to broaden Azure\'s applications from inside the beltway all the way to outer space. I’ve managed major projects and products across the value lifecycle – winning large contracts, creating novel partnerships, and leading product strategy and engineering.I\'m recognized for driving expansion in cloud services used by the US Government, notably transforming Azure Government into a growth area for Microsoft. My team manages complex undertakings, which range from establishing data centers to achieving operational compliance. My aim is to develop robust and secure infrastructures that not only fulfill rigorous security measures but also provide better user experiences. It’s about working together with leaders at all levels of Government to conquer technical obstacles and hone cloud services to meet their precise needs and serve the mission.
