Varun Dhawan is a Principal Product Manager at Microsoft with nine years in product leadership and a deep, hands-on background in databases and DevOps. He leads Azure Database for PostgreSQL product efforts, blending customer obsession with technical rigor to ship features that improve enterprise data protection and developer experience. Previously he built and operated large-scale data platforms and led DevOps and DBA teams at Target, championing open source PostgreSQL adoption and cloud migrations. Varun started his career in database engineering and support at Microsoft and consulting, giving him rare expertise across product, architecture, and incident response. He pairs strategic storytelling for senior leadership with detailed technical specs, making complex distributed data systems reliable and consumable. An interesting thread through his career is the shift from deep operational support to shaping cloud database products that prevent the very incidents he once remediated.
