Ryan Day is a Director of Product Marketing at Microsoft, where he leads AI marketing for the company’s Work + Life initiative, covering both the people who use AI tools every day and the IT leaders who buy them. In 15 + years at Microsoft he has worked on most of the ways a product reaches people. He did PR for Windows and Surface and served as an official company spokesperson. As chief of staff to a corporate vice president, he ghostwrote executive keynotes, prepared board materials and helped bring OKRs to Microsoft marketing while growing an org to 150+. As director of product marketing for Outlook, he led the launch of the new Outlook, and he later led Copilot marketing across Microsoft 365 experiences. Ryan believes the product marketers who thrive with AI will be the ones who truly understand the technology and use it to get dramatically better and faster at their craft, while constantly learning and adding to their tool belt. Based in Chapel Hill, North Carolina, he advises founders, start-ups and executives across the Research Triangle.
