Product & AI Leader at the Intersection of Technology and the Outdoors

Doug Milvaney

About Me

Senior product leader passionate about the intersection of technology and the outdoors. 10+ years building AI-first collaboration products at Microsoft; focused on bringing that expertise to outdoor recreation, exploration, and the tools that help people experience the natural world. When I'm not immersed in product development, you can find me exploring trails on two feet, two wheels, or two skis.

What Drives Me

Artificial Intelligence & Machine Learning

I design and ship AI-powered, model-forward creation and collaboration tools at Microsoft, including Microsoft Copilot, Loop, and Copilot Pages. I'm driven by the potential of AI to help people work smarter and achieve more.

Product Leadership

As a Principal Group Product Manager at Microsoft, I lead cross-functional teams building modern collaboration experiences used by hundreds of millions of people across Microsoft 365.

Trails, Bikes & Skis

The outdoors is where I get inspired. Whether I'm hiking, biking, or skiing, time in nature fuels my creativity and perspective. I also love to challenge myself outdoors; I've completed grueling gravel bike races (Rooted Vermont, The Ranger, Vermont Overland) and am halfway to becoming on 46er. And in 2026, I've signed up for my first trail running race. Wish me luck!

Climate & Sustainability

As a member of Protect Our Winters (POW) and 1% for the Planet, I'm committed to advocating for renewable energy, reducing carbon emissions, and protecting wild places.
