GUEST BIO 👤

Amir Netz is a Technical Fellow and the Chief Technology Officer of Microsoft Fabric.

Microsoft Fabric is a complete, unified, SaaS data platform that brings together all tools that organizations need to run their data estate. Fabric integrates technologies like Azure Data Factory, Azure Synapse Analytics, and Power BI into a unified product, empowering data, and business professionals alike to unlock the potential of their data and lay the foundation for the era of AI.

Before that Amir served as the founder and CTO of Microsoft Power BI.

Used by 98% of the Fortune 500 companies, Power BI is widely recognized as the market’s leading Business Intelligence product, with the fastest growth and the highest usage.

Amir is the leading world expert in BI and Business Analytics technology. The products invented, designed, and developed by Amir have repeatedly defined the business analytics market. In 1997 Amir founded SQL Server Analysis Services, a product that with its ease-of-use and low-cost had democratized the BI industry and quickly became the most popular BI server in the world. Today, Power BI is driving a similar transformation in the Cloud.

The technologies that Amir invented are shipping as part of SQL Server, Excel, and the Microsoft Power Platform. Some of his latest contributions include VertiPaq, Microsoft’s revolutionary in-memory column-oriented data engine that excels at performance and flexibility for data analysis, Q&A – the natural language BI exploration experience, Dataflows – a popular self-service data preparation platform, and the Power BI experience – for interactive ad-hoc data visualization and exploration.

The special designation of “Technical Fellow” is Microsoft’s acknowledgement of the key role a top technical leader plays in driving intentional innovation with broad industry impact. A Technical Fellow's technical vision, expertise and world-class leadership is commensurate with that of a corporate vice president focused on business leadership.
