Rishi Sapra ACA, MCT, Microsoft MVP's Linkedin Analytics

I’m a commercial technologist with a deep-rooted expertise at the intersection of business, finance, and cutting-edge Data & AI platforms. As a Microsoft Most Valuable Professional (MVP) in Power BI and Microsoft Fabric, I’m proud to help shape the future of data technologies, collaborating closely with Microsoft’s development teams and sharing insights with audiences at conferences and meetups around the world. A Chartered Accountant and Executive MBA (Hons), I’ve dedicated the past two decades to driving impactful change across the Big 4, Financial Services, and now as part of Avanade’s global Centre of Excellence—a joint venture between Accenture and Microsoft. Here, I focus on creating industry accelerators and go-to-market strategies for Microsoft Fabric, blending my technical know-how with a strategic perspective to support enterprise growth and transformation. Beyond my role, I’m passionate about empowering individuals and organizations to be self-sufficient with data and AI. Through my communities, Learn Data Insights and Power Platform Finance, I provide e-learning to tens of thousands of technology and finance professionals. Additionally, I serve on the advisory committee for the Data Analytics community at the Institute of Chartered Accountants (ICAEW), where I help produce educational content for over 40,000 members, supporting the finance community’s ongoing evolution with data and AI.
