Anderson Gobbi

I build the machinery that lets large organizations move fast and prove it: governance systems, KPI data models, production AI, and the change programs that make them stick. 25 years at Microsoft. Founder of a five-product AI health company. Two books. Selected outcomes below, with their program context.

Programs & Governance

Enterprise programs, told honestly

Four programs from 25 years at Microsoft, each in the same shape: the problem as it actually was, what I built, and what measurably changed.

Windows Compliance Transformation: "No Compliance, No Ship"

Microsoft · Windows Build and Service Compliance · 200+ engineering teams, 12+ regulatory verticals

Challenge

Every Windows release had to ship secure, private, accessible and globally compliant across a fleet moving monthly, with regulatory obligations (DORA, NIS2, CRA, RED, UK-CTP) arriving faster than manual processes could absorb. Six cycles of gate data showed 40% of releases slipping on compliance.

What I built

The release gate and forking mechanism converting non-compliance into blockers; the S360 KPI and evidence system of record (Kusto analytics) executives steered by; a shift-left of the gate to the Beta milestone, won with data; and production AI agents (Reg2Req regulatory intake, the Global Readiness review agent, PoliCheck) compressing regulatory work from hours to minutes under Responsible AI governance.

40–60% cycle-time reduction

7–9 hrs → under 40 min per readiness review

40% → 0 releases delayed on compliance

Zero major audit findings

Secure Future Initiative: Adoption Without Mandate

Microsoft · Security, Resilience and Business Continuity · 200+ critical services

Challenge

A company-critical security initiative closed its first wave at 40%, not for lack of engineering but because 200 service owners had no readiness, no central reporting and no escalation path.

What I built

A 12-champion network across the Windows services groups, a readiness and collaboration site, engineer-hour tracking (about 3,000 hours per wave) feeding a scorecard, and an escalation and exception process through leadership.

Outcome

Completion from 40% to 99%, risk mitigation 25 to 35% faster, and structures that outlived the program.

Business Continuity at Fleet Scale, Then Automated

Microsoft · Business Continuity Lead · 200+ services, four years

Challenge

Annual continuity and disaster-recovery assessments across hundreds of services: criticality, recovery classification, dependency mapping, DR-plan validation, all rigorous and audit-ready, and drowning in manual toil.

What I built

The governance discipline first (inventories current, exercises run, remediation tracked, evidence always audit-ready), then the BCL Agent, automating the review workload with human-in-the-loop design so trust was built in, not mandated.

>96% business-resilience compliance sustained

Up to 90% of review workload automated

~83% time savings per assessment

Modern Service Management: A $200M Business From Zero

Microsoft · Global Lead, Unified Support and MSM · about 200 consultants worldwide

Challenge

Cloud was rewriting what enterprise service management meant; Microsoft's services portfolio needed a modern practice that did not exist yet.

What I built

The practice itself: strategy, global offering catalog and reusable IP, the KPI and SLA machinery, go-to-market run jointly with sales for a $4B+ organization, and the team, formally managing and developing 20+ people over six years. Earlier in the same arc: invented the Onboarding Accelerator and defined the Remediation Planning Service standard.

Products & Ventures

Founder side: products with real users and real stakes

A five-product AI health portfolio built and led as founder (concurrent with Microsoft, authorized), plus earlier ventures. Technical depth on the AI systems lives in the AI Build Record.

In production

Cortex Resolve

Agentic conversational platform handling live operations for a major Brazilian public utility serving 1.5 million users: LLM reasoning translates intent into authenticated tool calls, and the client's systems remain the systems of record. 99%+ resolution in the first two months.

Pilot completed

WorkMind

Occupational mental-health assessment platform for regulatory compliance (NR-1): validated instruments (COPSOQ II-Br, PHQ-8, GAD-7), psychiatrist sign-off, k ≥ 5 anonymity by design. First client completed two assessment cycles.

Platform

XPDoctor Clinic & MindAI

AI-native digital-health ecosystem for mental health (Clinic, AI, Edu), including a Knowledge Intelligence Layer converting clinical-session engagement into anonymized, aggregate analytics.

Growing

NutriMind & CONECTA

White-label clinical nutrition platform with an anchor medical partner, and a gamification and BI platform for medical congresses.

2017 to 2019

FlirtAR

Publicly covered (BBC Three, SBT) as the world's first augmented-reality dating app: concept to global iOS and Android launch in about nine months on a $1.5M seed, and wound down deliberately when the economics did not hold. I talk about shipping, and about stopping.

Advisory

HomestayMatch

Advisor to the CEO of a marketplace startup; contributed to 100% year-over-year growth.

Applied AI

AI with receipts, not slideware

Production agents at Microsoft scale, an agentic platform serving over a million users, clinical AI under LGPD, and daily practice across Claude, Copilot Studio, Azure AI Foundry and Azure OpenAI. Architecture summaries, evaluation stories and measured outcomes, system by system: open the AI Build Record.
