## Key results

- 6 apps shipped in a single launch.
- 17× monthly active user growth.
- Strategic alignment across the Microsoft 365 AI roadmap.

## Role and team

- Domain: Microsoft 365 Copilot
- Year: 2025
- Role: Lead PMM
- Team: Product management, engineering, design, legal, finance, and research

## Overview

AI efforts across Microsoft 365 were growing quickly across voice and multimodal experiences, but teams were operating independently and there was no clear strategy connecting the work. I partnered with engineering leadership to map the multimodal roadmap across the portfolio, identify overlaps and gaps, and help prioritize where Microsoft 365 should focus first.

One of the first major launches was Audio Overviews, a podcast-style AI experience that shipped across six Microsoft 365 apps. I helped drive the cross-product experience, including naming, positioning, monetization, and GTM strategy, to ensure the launch felt cohesive across the suite instead of fragmented across teams.

## Making sense of a fast-moving AI landscape

### Cross-team discovery

Worked across Teams, Outlook, Word, PowerPoint, and Copilot Notebooks to map how voice and multimodal AI experiences were evolving across Microsoft 365.

### Capability mapping

Created a unified view of multimodal investments across the portfolio to identify overlaps, gaps, and where Microsoft 365 should focus first.

### Strategy framework

Built the decision-making framework used to evaluate roadmap priorities based on customer value, competitive landscape, and engineering feasibility.

### Leadership alignment

Synthesized findings into recommendations presented to senior leadership to help align roadmap priorities and product direction across Microsoft 365.

## Audio Overviews: aligning six apps around one experience

### Experience

Unified the experience across six Microsoft 365 apps. Worked across engineering and product teams to align on a cohesive multimodal experience across Microsoft 365, ensuring Audio Overviews felt like one Copilot capability instead of six disconnected features.

### Naming

Led the naming process for Audio Overviews. Worked across product, legal, and marketing to land on a name that felt intuitive, scalable, and consistent with the broader Copilot ecosystem.

### Positioning

Defined the core product narrative for Audio Overviews. Shaped the positioning and messaging for Audio Overviews, defining how the experience should be explained consistently across Microsoft 365 and why it mattered to users.

### Monetization

Defined the monetization and packaging strategy. Worked with product and finance to define how Audio Overviews fit into premium M365 plans and where it created incremental value.

### Launch

Coordinated across six apps at once. Managed cross-functional launch execution across Teams, Word, PowerPoint, Outlook, OneNote, and Loop — unifying timelines, assets, and messaging across six product teams shipping simultaneously.
