Charles Maxson is a seasoned developer-turned-strategic technology leader who currently leads Azure Developer GTM at Microsoft, bringing 14+ years of cloud and developer advocacy experience across Google and Microsoft. He blends deep empathy for developer workflows with a pragmatic, solutions-first mindset—equally comfortable sketching architecture, mentoring engineers, or stepping into an IDE to prototype a time-saving tool. At Google he shaped developer experience and partner programs for Google Cloud and Workspace, and his background includes founding roles and long-tenured collaboration platform work that inform his product intuition. Known for finding joy in small automation wins, he champions practical productivity improvements and the creative side of coding more than the craft itself. Based in Los Angeles, he focuses on helping developer communities build with Azure while enabling teams to deliver impactful, maintainable solutions.
