Vineet Punjabi — Co-Founder

I lead large, cross-functional product initiatives in AI and productivity — most recently driving Excel Copilot, LLM Evaluation systems, and charting modernization across Microsoft’s Office Product Group. My work operates at the intersection of product strategy, AI platforms, engineering execution, and org-wide alignment. Over the last 16+ years, I’ve built and scaled products across Microsoft, Atlassian, Adobe, TourRadar, and RateGain - from AI agents and collaboration platforms to marketplace conversions and big-data analytics. I’ve consistently owned multi-team charters, shaped long-term product direction, and delivered business outcomes at scale. What I do well: • Define 1–3 year product strategies for AI-first experiences • Build evaluation frameworks for LLM quality, grounding, and reliability • Lead cross-geo engineering, design, and applied science partnerships • Drive org-level practices: evaluation governance, metrics alignment, GTM readiness • Build product teams, upskill PM orgs, and set culture through systems • Turn ambiguous problems into clear roadmaps, models, and shipped outcomes

Stackforce AI infers this person is a SaaS Product Leader with expertise in AI-driven solutions and cross-functional team management.
