About Michael Herlihy

Michael Herlihy is Account CTO at Microsoft. Location: Midland Park, New Jersey, United States.

Enterprise technology executive and AI transformation leader with a 25+ year record of driving change at scale across Fortune 500, Big 4, and high-growth companies. I set the AI vision — reshaping the operating model, cost structure, and customer value — and convert it into measurable outcomes, cutting cost and complexity while accelerating growth through AI. I build the foundation that makes AI real: a unified enterprise architecture that connects legacy systems, cloud, and data platforms into an AI-ready fabric; platform modernization prioritized where it accelerates AI adoption; and a data strategy engineered for the quality, lineage, and real-time access that agentic AI workloads demand. As an Account CTO at Microsoft, I advise enterprise clients at the executive level — authoring AI visions and agentic frameworks, standing up innovation models that accelerate workflow transformation, leading flagship transaction-scale solutions, and moving multiple AI products from pilot to production. I'm also redefining how software gets built: pairing human and AI agents with modern development tools to compress delivery timelines from multi-year to weeks and months. I bring deep cloud, product, and platform expertise — and global delivery experience across countries, regulatory regimes, and markets — to the office of the CIO. I welcome connections at
