Enterprise AI Leader & Advisor · Microsoft

PoojaMuttreja

I've spent 20 years at the intersection of data, AI, and enterprise strategy — first as an architect building systems from the ground up, then as an advisor helping the world's largest organizations understand what's actually possible and how to get there.

At Microsoft I work with 300+ enterprise brands across retail, CPG, finance, healthcare, and manufacturing. My work starts with data — governed platforms, lakehouse architectures, real-time pipelines — and ends with AI that earns trust and delivers results.
