Senior🎓
Top SchoolCarmen Cortes is a Business Development Manager leading Microsoft’s M365 Copilot ecosystem with nine years of experience translating cloud-native AI and data science into measurable enterprise outcomes.

Her background spans applied research in computational biology and public health modeling to hands-on AI product and data science roles, giving her uncommon fluency in both rigorous modeling and business strategy. Based in Seattle and pursuing data science on GitHub, she combines analytical rigor, creative problem solving, and a bias for operational impact. Colleagues rely on her to spot strategic leverage points where AI can reduce cost, risk, and friction while accelerating customer value.
