About this session
An introductory call is a simple way to get to know a mentor before committing to ongoing mentorship. This session gives you the chance to ask questions, talk through your goals, and see whether the mentor’s background, communication style, and approach feel like the right fit for you. It is a low-pressure starting point designed to help you make a more confident decision.
You can use the call to share what you are working on, what kind of support you are looking for, and where you feel stuck right now. It is also a chance to understand how the mentor typically works with mentees, what kind of guidance they can offer, and whether there is a strong mutual fit. The goal is to leave the conversation with more clarity on your next step and whether you want to continue working together.
Your mentor
I work at the intersection of Data, AI, cloud technology, and customer impact, with more than 15 years of experience helping organizations turn complex technical challenges into practical strategies.
As a Chief Technology Advisor for Data & AI at Microsoft, I regularly work with technical and business leaders on architecture, AI strategy, solution engineering, pre-sales, executive conversations, and high-stakes presentations.
In this introductory call, we’ll discuss your goals, current situation, and the kinds of challenges you want to work through. I can help with career direction, solution engineering and pre-sales, technical storytelling, customer discovery, AI and data strategy, architecture conversations, interviews, presentations, and leadership growth.
My style is practical and direct. I’ll ask thoughtful questions, share relevant perspective, and help determine whether my mentoring approach is a good fit for what you need. This is a fit conversation rather than a full coaching session, so you should leave with greater clarity about the best next step.
