Summary
Arif Gani is a Principal Product Leader at Microsoft with eight years of focused product and platform experience and a much longer engineering leadership pedigree dating back to hands-on development roles. He designs marketplace and commerce capabilities for ISVs building on Microsoft CRM, blending deep technical empathy with product strategy to enable partner ecosystems at scale. Prior to Microsoft he led large, distributed agile teams at Accenture across major retail and enterprise accounts, delivering high-impact eCommerce and managed services programs. Comfortable shifting between code, architecture and product roadmaps, he has repeatedly moved from developer to delivery lead to product owner roles, which gives him rare end-to-end delivery fluency. Based in Sammamish, Washington, he pairs enterprise-grade execution with a curiosity-driven background—his original degree in biology hints at a multidisciplinary approach to problem solving. Colleagues know him for turning complex enterprise constraints into pragmatic platform features that accelerate partner success.
