Darren Goonawardana is currently focused on leading Collectiv, the Microsoft data and AI consultancy he co-founded, helping organisations build modern data architectures, analytics, and connected planning, and turn AI pilots into production systems.
Alongside leading Collectiv, he speaks and publishes as The Cyborg CEO on AI leadership, data strategy, and building companies that scale, including at the Microsoft Fabric Community Conference and on his video podcast.
He is open to keynote speaking, AI leadership advisory, and select collaborations. The best place to start is a short conversation.
Inspired by the /now page movement.
