Tiffany Songvilay is a powerhouse in modern workplace transformation and AI enablement. As the Global Tech Lead for Avanade’s Copilot Adoption Program and a key player on the North America Copilot Rapid Response Team, she’s helped enterprise clients go from “just testing” to “fully thriving” with AI—boosting productivity, collaboration, and digital know-how along the way.

A Copilot MVP and go-to advisor, Tiffany leads global teams, builds enablement and security frameworks, and hosts Prompt-a-thons that make prompt engineering feel less like rocket science and more like second nature. She’s a pro at showing off Copilot in action—whether it’s in Microsoft 365, SharePoint Premium, Viva, or Power Platform—and her sessions are known for being both insightful and refreshingly real.

From breaking down metadata extraction in SharePoint to helping teams master the new collab stack (hello Loop, Teams, and Copilot!), Tiffany brings clarity, energy, and a whole lot of credibility to every stage she steps on.

Outside of work, she’s a fierce advocate for women of color in STEM and a champion for diversity and LGBTQ+ inclusion. Her LinkedIn posts are packed with practical tips on prompt engineering, and she’s a fan favorite for making even the nerdiest topics fun. Oh—and when she’s not leading AI transformations? You’ll find her on a motorcycle or cuddling her senior rescue dog.
