Miloš Petković — Senior AI Product Manager at Microsoft

I'm a Senior Product Manager in Microsoft's Applied Sciences Group, working on the language, speech and vision models that run on-device in Windows. So far that has included the Settings agent, Video Super Resolution, and the speech-to-text and text-to-speech models, along with making sure each one fits the silicon it runs on.

My current focus is bringing multi-modal input to Windows.

Before this I spent two and a half years as a data and platform PM on Bing Maps, and four and a half years before that on SAP CPQ, at SAP and CallidusCloud. Nine years in product management, most of it on platforms.

Selected impact

Mu shipped into Windows Settings

Took Mu, the small language model behind the natural-language agent in Windows Settings, from model to shipped experience — running fully on-device. Windows Experience Blog
SAP CPQ into Gartner's Magic Quadrant

Owned SAP CPQ's integration into the S/4HANA component landscape, work that contributed to its recognition as a leading solution in Gartner's review.
A crowdsourcing platform for map data

Managed the platform that closes Bing Maps data gaps end to end — from detecting a gap to collecting the answer through gig workers and LLMs.

Experience

Oct 2024 — Present

Senior Program Manager, Windows AI

Microsoft · Applied Sciences Group · Belgrade

Working across model, silicon and feature teams to get models from research into the experiences that ship. Currently focused on multi-modal input.

My day-to-day is making sure the right models reach the features that depend on them — the Settings agent, Video Super Resolution, and the speech-to-text and text-to-speech models among them.
Those models ship as part of the public Windows AI API surface, so the audience is not only Windows features but any third-party app building on them.
A lot of the work is matching silicon-optimized models to feature requirements that keep moving, which means staying close to four or five partner teams at once.
Getting Mu, the small language model behind the agent in Windows Settings, integrated into the experience that ships it was my piece of that work.

Mar 2022 — Oct 2024

Senior Product Manager, Bing Maps

Microsoft · Data & Platform · Belgrade

Data and platform PM on map quality — finding where the map was wrong, and building the process to put it right.

Most of it was closing the gaps in map data that other Microsoft services kept running into.
The crowdsourcing platform I managed handled the full loop, from spotting a gap in the data through collecting what was missing to getting it back into the map.
Over time we brought LLMs in alongside the gig workers already doing collection, which helped us cover more ground.

Sep 2019 — Mar 2022

Senior Product Manager, SAP CPQ

SAP · Belgrade

Owned the integrations between SAP CPQ and the wider SAP ERP and front-office applications.

The bulk of the role was leading cross-functional teams through integration work spanning SAP ERP and the front-office applications.
Ownership of SAP CPQ's integration into all S/4HANA components sat with me, work that contributed to its standing as a leading solution in Gartner's review.
Much of the rest was time with stakeholders, turning the friction they ran into in the field into roadmap decisions.

Sep 2017 — Sep 2019

Product Manager

CallidusCloud · Belgrade

My first product management role, working on CPQ through the company's transition into SAP.

My share of the CPQ roadmap was mostly the pieces that let the product integrate with the SAP B2B landscape.
