Run by women who do this around full-time jobs. Meet the people behind it, and the community that shows up.
How this started
A group chat that got out of hand
In 2024 a few women in the Power Platform community got tired of waiting for someone to build what they needed. So they built it.
It began as mentoring for a handful of people. Now it is a community of about six thousand across Power Platform and AI tools, with cohorts, monthly skilling sessions and a presence at the big conferences. In 2026 it became part of the Women’s Innovation Network, a non-profit built to outlast any one platform.
Every session, pairing and Power Hour is volunteer work, done around full-time jobs.
Leadership
Meet the troublemakers
A working committee, not a letterhead. Everyone here has a real job in the program, done around a full-time one.

Danielle Moon
Founder
Danielle founded Women in Power in 2024, then built the Women’s Innovation Network behind it so the support would outlast any one platform. What began as a group chat is now six thousand women, with mentoring cohorts, monthly skilling and a Women in Power presence at the conferences this industry actually shows up to. She sets the direction, brings in the sponsors and holds the door open for the next woman who thinks she is the only one in the room.
Sravani partners with Danielle to bring the Women in Power vision to life, shaping ideas into programs with a clear plan, owners and timeline across every pillar. She started the mentoring program, which Shriya and Drew now lead. By day she is a PM in the CAT organization at Microsoft, and she built this site.
Geetha leads Skilling, partnering with Danielle to turn Women in Power’s skilling vision into a program members can count on for personal, professional and career growth. She owns the framework, themes and events, redefining skilling around power skills. She also helps shape community-wide decisions and future growth, and supports new voices in the community. By day, she is an Associate Director in Protiviti’s Microsoft Consulting practice and a Microsoft MVP.

The wider mentoring committee
The committee behind the cohorts: the mentoring framework, participant communications, and the alumni community that carries on afterwards. They keep every cohort running the same way for everyone, whichever track you are in, and make sure the volunteers who run it are thanked.
The monthly sessions, the speaker pipeline and where they reach.

Skilling Sessions Lead
Suparna runs the skilling sessions with Geetha: topics, speakers, scheduling and prep. She is an active Power Platform community speaker and an AI wizard.
Beyond the committee are dozens of session hosts, room hosts, regional organizers and events crew. We add each one once she confirms how she would like to be listed.
The community
Everyone who has taken part
Mentors and mentees from every cohort. The program is these people; the committee just books the rooms.
