Hi, I'm Daman Kaur

Global AI & Cloud Strategist | Author | Advisor

I convert complex cloud and generative‑AI vision into measurable business growth for enterprises and startups alike.

A decade‑plus of leading Azure and data transformations for Fortune 500 giants taught me a simple truth: technology only matters when it moves the business forward. Today I channel that insight into advisory work that accelerates Azure, Data, and Large‑Language‑Model (LLM) adoption—helping clients unlock value from Microsoft's rapidly evolving AI ecosystem.

About Me

Bridging Technological Ingenuity with Business Strategy

At the intersection of innovation and impact, I guide global leaders through AI‑powered cloud transformation while educating the next generation of technologists.

Technical Leadership & Strategy

With 12 years in cloud computing, data engineering, and AI, I specialise in translating technical depth into executive‑level strategy. My customer‑first mindset has consistently driven double‑digit Azure consumption growth, enabled MACC commitments worth billions, and cultivated high‑performing, cross‑functional teams.

💡

Current Focus

I'm presently on sabbatical, actively experimenting with GenAI and large‑language models to re‑imagine core business processes—from sales enablement to supply‑chain analytics—while remaining available for short‑term consulting, advisory, and training engagements. I'm particularly keen to partner with teams leveraging Microsoft AI for Startups or scaling secure, responsible AI workloads on Azure.
