About
Hi, I’m Sushant Maheshwari.
From designing skyscrapers as a structural engineer to leading multi-billion-dollar data center portfolios for global tech leaders, I’ve built my career on solving complex challenges at scale. My path has taken me across engineering, consulting, and hyperscale technology, giving me a unique lens on how strategy, capital, and execution come together to power the digital future.
At Microsoft, as a seasoned leader in cloud infrastructure and strategic investments, I lead the Lease Center of Excellence within Cloud + AI, overseeing one of the world’s largest leased data center portfolios. My focus is on accelerating time-to-market while building infrastructure that is resilient, sustainable, and strategically aligned with global demand.
This site is where I share that journey — insights on scaling strategy, governance and risk, and lessons from navigating careers that cross industries and disciplines. Whether you’re a student, industry peer, or organization pushing boundaries in cloud and AI, you’ll find ideas, experiences, and opportunities to connect.
