Top SchoolXavier Pouyat is a Senior Technology Strategist with over 20 years in cloud, media and application technologies, now advising high-potential EMEA ISVs at Microsoft.

His background spans media playback and codecs (Silverlight, Smooth Streaming) to cutting-edge AI for audio/video processing, making him adept at turning complex media pipelines into operational cloud solutions. Xavier routinely bridges product teams and large customers to shape roadmaps and productionize AI use cases like audiobook generation and raw video analytics. Based in Paris, he pairs a mechanical engineering foundation from top European schools with deep Microsoft product and partner expertise.
