Hi there! I'm Priyanka Vergadia, and I like to think of myself as a builder, storyteller, and tech enthusiast on a mission to transform how we communicate complex technology. Buckle up, because I've got a wild ride of experiences to share!

Transforming Technology Marketing

As Senior Director of Global Developer Engagement at Microsoft Azure, I orchestrate strategic initiatives that shape the future of cloud technology adoption across enterprise organizations. My journey began with a childhood love affair with technology—tinkering with pixels and dreaming up digital worlds—and has evolved into over 15 years of driving technological innovation and crafting compelling technical narratives.

Previously at Google Cloud, I partnered directly with the CEO to architect major product launches including Vertex AI and Gemini's go-to-market strategy, demonstrating my unique ability to translate cutting-edge technology into compelling market narratives. But tech isn't just about lines of code; it's about the people who bring those lines to life.

Pioneer in Visual Storytelling

I've revolutionized how AI and cloud companies capture developer mindshare through innovative visual storytelling techniques. My #1 best-selling book "Visualizing Google Cloud" has sold over 20,000 copies in just 5 months and is being translated into multiple languages. My distinctive content strategy has built an engaged audience of over 2 million viewers and 850K subscribers across platforms, proving that complex concepts can be both clear and captivating.

From popular sketch-style explanations to byte-sized video content, I've created viral technical content that resonates with developer audiences worldwide. There's nothing more rewarding than seeing that light bulb moment click on for someone!

Strategic Leadership & Education

As a strategic advisor, I've guided engineering teams at Twitter, Uber, and other technology leaders in their cloud transformation journeys. My product marketing expertise has been instrumental in helping AI startups and established tech companies cut through market noise to showcase their technological innovations.

Speaking of sparking ideas, I'm also passionate about education. Being a faculty member at the University of Pennsylvania's School of Engineering and Applied Science, where I also serve on the board of their online education program, is an incredible privilege. Getting to mentor the next generation of tech minds and witness their creativity blossom is pure magic.

Championing Diversity & Community

As a woman in tech, I'm acutely aware of the challenges we face. That's why I'm proud to be part of initiatives like Women Who Code, where we celebrate achievements and work to create a more inclusive tech landscape. Being named one of their Top 100 Women in Tech was a real honor that fuels my fire to keep pushing for progress.

Beyond speaking at major conferences like Google Cloud Next, TechCrunch Disrupt, Dubai Gitex, and GOTO Amsterdam, I believe in giving back to the community through various initiatives close to my heart—from supporting STEM education for underprivileged kids to promoting diversity in the tech workforce.

Let's Connect!

That's me in a nutshell! A transformative technology leader on a mission to empower others, break barriers, and maybe even have a little fun along the way. If you're looking for inspiration, strategic guidance, or just someone to geek out about the latest tech trends, hit me up! I'm always up for a good conversation.

Remember, the sky's the limit when it comes to what you can achieve with a little bit of passion, perseverance, and maybe a sprinkle of code.
