Charles-Henri Sauget

Data & Analytics Expert, Microsoft MVP Data Platform, with over 15 years of experience in consulting and implementing data platforms for businesses, on On-Premise, Hybrid, and Cloud (mainly Azure) architectures.

I have specialized in Microsoft Fabric in recent years. I assist my clients in designing and optimizing Fabric architectures (Lakehouse, Data Warehouse, Real-Time Analytics, Power BI), for both new projects and existing platforms.

My core added value:

- Microsoft Fabric financial optimization (capacity sizing, cost reduction, consumption governance),

- Performance optimization (modeling, advanced DAX, SQL, Spark, pipelines, ingestion),

- Cross-functional Fabric expertise: OneLake, Direct Lake, Data Engineering, Analytics, and BI.

I am co-author of the book Microsoft Fabric – The Complete Guide and hold all Microsoft certifications related to the Data Platform and Microsoft Fabric.

My experience as Chief Technical Officer has also led me to work on AWS and GCP, giving me a pragmatic view of multi-cloud data architectures, with a clear objective: to limit vendor lock-in and build sustainable solutions.

I am involved in:

- Microsoft Fabric architecture audits (costs, performance, usage),

- Overhauls or optimization of existing platforms,

as well as supporting teams on Self-Service BI, governance, and Data Mesh approaches.

I have also been a trainer since 2013 on Microsoft Data Platform technologies (AZ-900, DP-900, DP-203, PL-300, etc.) and regularly speak in international contexts. I am fluent in spoken and written English.
