Michael Vakoc is a product leader with a decade of experience building and scaling cloud and conversational AI products, currently shaping Google Cloud’s roadmap from the San Francisco Bay Area. He has a strong fintech and enterprise SaaS pedigree, having driven major growth and integrations for Power Virtual Agents at Microsoft (10x monthly usage growth and seven-figure unique users) and launched data visualization and discovery tools for Bridgewater’s research teams. Equally comfortable with technical execution and go-to-market strategy, he defined pricing and packaging for platform launches, shipped SSO and contact-center integrations, and spearheaded performance and onboarding improvements that materially increased retention. Early engineering roles and a background in applied informatics give him hands-on understanding of full-stack systems, while a Human-Computer Interaction certificate reflects his user-centered approach. Notably, he’s bridged product, analytics, and investment research workflows—making him adept at translating complex domain needs into usable, scalable products.
