Benoit Vienne

Benoit Vienne

Solution Architect specialized in Microsoft Power Platform, I’ve had the opportunity to experience this journey from every angle: end user, project manager, business stakeholder, and now architect and strategic deployment leader in large organizations.

I’ve been at the forefront of rolling out Power Platform in complex environments, aligning technological innovation with business goals. In other words: not just building apps, but driving transformation and creating measurable business value.

Throughout my career, I’ve led governance programs, deployed Power Apps solutions to support international initiatives, guided the adoption of AI within business teams… and built communities (4,000 people strong) dedicated to sharing best practices and fostering a sustainable Power Platform culture.

Today, I’d like to share a candid field story: the keys to leveraging Power Platform as a true strategic transformation lever, the practices that really work (and the pitfalls I’ve personally stumbled into 😅)… with one promise: you’ll leave with concrete ideas — and maybe a fresh perspective on your Excel files.

As a hands-on AI leader in MLOps, On-Device AI, and Generative AI, I have built and led high-performing teams at top-tier technology firms through complex technical challenges. I design and deploy AI/ML products and strategies that deliver measurable business value while integrating seamlessly into existing product infrastructures. I bring strong executive acumen, aligning technical innovation with business priorities, translating complex AI concepts for senior leadership, and driving decisions that balance scalability, risk, and ROI.
At F5, I work in the AI Center of Excellence, where I prototype proof-of-concept AI solutions and integrate them with product teams. I built an AI system that brings intelligence to application infrastructure at fleet scale, automatically interpreting configurations to surface insights that are otherwise hard to extract manually across large deployments. I also prototyped work augmenting F5 Distributed Cloud WAAP with specialized AI classifiers for web and API protection, including LLM-era threats like prompt injection, under a safety-first design where no single signal can autonomously block traffic.
At Rockwell Automation, I developed AI-driven manufacturing solutions that improved user experience while reducing operational costs. At Microsoft, I enhanced ML workflows through automation and built training programs that bridged knowledge gaps across pre-sales and engineering teams. At Samsung SDS, I helped launch the first enterprise big data platform in the U.S.
My work has earned multiple recognitions, including HP's 2025 Innovation Speaker award, Rockwell's GenAI Hackathon win, Microsoft's Quarterly Award, and Best Speaker at Microsoft's Internal ML Conference. I also hold an MLOps patent for managing AI systems in industrial environments. Through collaborative leadership and mentorship, I foster open communication, creative problem-solving, and sustainable engineering practices that consistently drive team success.
