Summary
Premal Shah is a Principal Product Manager at Microsoft who specializes in integrating Azure Databricks with Microsoft Fabric/OneLake to enable seamless, secure, enterprise-grade data and ML workflows. He leads cross-company engineering and product alignment to ship joint platform capabilities, and owns OneLake shortcut transformations — a zero-ETL approach that converts raw files into analytics-ready Delta tables without pipelines or copies. Over an eight-year tenure driving Databricks on Azure and prior roles across Microsoft’s ML, big data, and MSN platform teams, he has taken projects from early adoption to large-scale production. His background spans the full stack and extreme scale, from Oracle kernel work to consumer properties serving millions and enterprise platforms in finance, energy, and manufacturing. He gravitates to hard cross-platform problems where customer friction is highest and excels at making powerful data and ML technologies accessible and production-ready. Based in the Greater Seattle Area, he combines deep systems experience with product leadership that unblocks large organizations.
