I had the pleasure of kicking off and moderating a pre-Ignite customer roundtable for our esteemed analyst community. The session was rich with insights from Syril Smith Garson, Head of Product for AI at BlackRock, who highlighted how AI is revolutionizing their investment management platform, Aladdin, to enhance customer service and drive product development. Equally compelling was Todd Kackley, Vice President and Global CIO at Textron, who shared how their AI-driven solution, Textron Aviation Maintenance Intelligence (TAMI), is transforming aircraft maintenance. Both leaders stressed responsible AI deployment, data accuracy, and continuous feedback as key to AI innovation. At #MSIgnite, organizations across industries are sharing how the Microsoft Copilot and AI stack are driving significant ROI and transforming businesses. And with 85% of the Fortune 500 using Microsoft AI, the future is bright. Proud to be part of this journey, driving innovation and efficiency. #MSIgnite
