Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolJosh Handel is a Director-level Cloud & AI specialist with 25+ years translating complex technical wishlists into fundable, repeatable roadmaps that drive measurable business outcomes across Healthcare, Energy, Financial Services, and Manufacturing. At Microsoft he partners with executives and engineering teams to modernize apps, secure data estates, and accelerate AI adoption—combining hands-on Azure App Innovation, Data & AI, GitHub/Copilot-driven developer productivity, Power Platform, and Dynamics 365 expertise with executive deal shaping and co‑sell/co‑build programs. Known for navigating regulated environments (including DoD IL5/SACA conversations), he focuses on outcome-first discovery, operable architectures, and ROI narratives that turn slideware into signatures. He’s recognized for strong talk-track quality and enablement content on Copilot and AI-assisted development, and outside work pursues an unusual mix of late 16th-century swordsmanship and running family digital manufacturing shops on Etsy.
