In less than a decade, Microsoft Azure has grown to become the world’s leading cloud platform. The company is now experiencing significant momentum with unprecedented customer engagement, resulting in a 75% year-over-year growth trajectory. Tom Keane is the Corporate Vice President of Mission Engineering at Microsoft Azure. He leads the engineering team responsible for providing the services and APIs that power Microsoft’s public cloud.
Before joining Azure, Tom Keane was a Vice President and General Manager at Amazon Web Services (AWS). He is being rewarded for his achievements with this new opportunity to take on a leadership role in driving Microsoft’s goal to democratize AI as a service.

Deploying Artificial Intelligence is about more than just bolstering productivity and automating routine tasks. Tom Keane explains that this technology offers a powerful way for Microsoft to enable the government to deliver on its mission of protecting our country.
AI can generate actionable insights and enhance the effectiveness of our partners in law enforcement and intelligence-gathering operations. The future of AI is in our hands, and we’re ready to share it with everyone who wants to use it.
According to Tom Keane, data is at the heart of every machine-learning application. Microsoft has been gathering, storing, and analyzing it for years. We’re currently in the process of moving data from our on-premises systems to the cloud. We aim to build services that deliver a consumer experience that meets or exceeds that of public cloud services like Amazon Web Services and Google Cloud Platform.
