Suzanne Daniels

Suzanne Daniels

I’m a Chief Developer Advisor at Microsoft, working with CxOs and engineering leaders in EMEA to shape strategy, modernize developer experience, and navigate the shift toward human–agent collaboration. My work sits at the intersection of engineering depth and executive clarity — helping organizations make confident decisions about platforms, AI adoption, and the future of how software gets built.

I’m an engineer first and always. Thirty years in the craft means I still think in systems, constraints, and trade‑offs, and that technical grounding is what makes me effective in the rooms I’m invited into. Whether I’m advising on architecture, developer experience, or organizational design, I bridge hands‑on engineering reality with strategic direction so teams can deliver better, faster, and with more joy.

I believe that we can create products and services that make the world a better place. And that we can learn and grow in the process of doing so. Our challenge is that we waste time and money and human energy on untested ideas that, too often, turn out to be something that the customer does not want. Or, if we have an idea that is really good, we get in our own way by not executing it well, by not being able to communicate, inspire, and empower our collaborators and stakeholders as we must in order to do the impossible: launch and grow good ideas that the world needs, fostering sustainable and ethical growth.

I work to solve that.

Mónica Mesa

Soy Mónica, una auténtica #datalover que disfruta aprendiendo, compartiendo y, sobre todo, sacándole partido a los datos. Me encanta convertir números en historias que no solo hablen, ¡sino que griten! Mi día a día gira en torno a Power BI y Microsoft Fabric, en esa magia que tiene la analítica inteligente. ¿Mi superpoder? Hacer que hasta el modelo más técnico sea algo divertido.

Microsoft MVP en Data Platform y co-organizadora de Women in Fabric y del Fabric User Group ESP, además de participar en la organización de otros eventos de comunidad como los Power BI Days 2025.

También me gusta trastear con inteligencia artificial, Python, SQL, Machine Learning y PySpark, porque al final, ¿quién puede resistirse a un buen reto técnico?

Cuando no estoy entre datos, modelos y reuniones proponiendo ideas locas, me encontrarás planificando el próximo viaje, con un plato bien picante delante o haciendo fotos como una obsesa. Ah, y contando chistes malos, porque alguien tiene que romper el hielo, ¿no?

Compartir conocimientos y conectar con comunidades de datos es lo que realmente me llena. Los datos y la tecnología no solo nos hacen trabajar mejor, también pueden cambiar cómo vivimos y entendemos el mundo.
