As part of the Data Analytics & Artificial Intelligence Specialist Team Unit in the SoCal, I work with a nimble team of highly technical colleagues who care about how our customer's industries are being disrupted, and how the intelligent cloud may unearth valuable insights about the current and future state of our customers' businesses. Helping our customers with the modernization of their data estate, and assisting in identification of such insights to create a competitive edge for drive growth and innovation.As Microsoft strives to empower all people and organizations to achieve more, a higher focus on teaching our customers rather than selling to them has become an organizational principle. Empowering our customers,requires more than just technical knowledge; it also requires a forward looking expertise on how their industries and their markets are continually changing. Backed with industry leading personnel, networks of dynamic partners, world class Microsoft Research, and a continuously improving suite of products infused throughout Dynamics, Office 365, and Azure cloud architectures, I help enterprise organizations change their pace of growth, multiply and capture their whitespace opportunities, and build deeper relationships with their customers through Microsoft's cognitive solutions.
