Data Dive #48: Seize the Data with Microsoft's Global Head of BI Strategy 🧠

Business Intelligence isn’t dead. It evolved.

In the latest episode of Seize the Data, we sit down with Shreya Ghosh, who leads Global BI Strategy at Microsoft, to explore how AI is transforming the very core of business intelligence. From database schemas to decision intelligence at scale, Shreya brings over 17 years of experience shaping the future of analytics inside one of the world’s most influential technology companies.

She shares how AI and BI are no longer separate domains but deeply intertwined, working together to help organizations make faster, smarter, and more contextual decisions. At the heart of this transformation lies a strong data foundation and what she calls connected intelligence, the ability to unify data, context, and collaboration across every layer of the business.

We discuss the shift from static dashboards to a dynamic ecosystem where insights reach decision makers before they even ask for them. Shreya calls this a true partnership between AI and human intelligence, one that is democratizing insights and enabling enterprises to move from information to action in real time.

From modernization journeys and migration efficiency to data governance and cultural readiness, this conversation unpacks what it truly means to build intelligent and adaptive BI systems at scale.

If you have ever wondered how enterprises like Microsoft are reimagining analytics for the AI era, this episode is a masterclass in the future of BI where data does not just inform decisions, it acts on them.
