Sean Squires is a Principal Product Manager at Microsoft with two decades of hands-on experience designing and shipping enterprise content services, particularly across SharePoint and Office 365. He leads Next Generation Content Services work like SharePoint Syntex and Project Cortex, translating strategic vision into user-centric AI-powered classification and metadata-driven search experiences. Sean blends product strategy, taxonomy design, and UX with strong program leadership across SDLC and Agile practices, repeatedly improving scale, reliability, and adoption for large cloud platforms. A frequent speaker and consultant, he brings an unusual mix of librarian-trained information architecture (MLIS) and practical engineering program management, which informs his focus on governance, content models, and cognitive capture. Based in Redmond, he's as likely to evangelize elegant site governance as he is to debate the finer points of denominal verbs over a craft beer.
