Michael Shirrell
author title Distinguished Enterprise ArchitectI'm an enterprise architect and AI strategist with nearly a decade dedicated to banking and financial services and fifteen years building on the Salesforce platform. I help organizations cut through the noise and build technology strategies grounded in regulatory reality, designed for scale, and tied to outcomes that matter.
My work sits at the intersection of agentic AI, data strategy, and enterprise architecture, applied to the realities of regulated financial services. I help banking and financial services organizations move from AI curiosity to execution: building data infrastructure that supports intelligent automation, inside the governance and compliance constraints that regulators actually expect. I've led architecture across complex, multi-cloud implementations and worked alongside executives navigating the industry's most significant technology shifts, from cloud migration and CRM transformation to generative AI and agentic automation. I know what it takes to get from a compelling pilot to a product.
ou'll find me on a road bike at dawn, playing guitar, or kicking a soccer ball around the backyard with my daughter. When I'm not doing any of that, I'm probably tinkering with Salesforce and agentic solutions, because apparently that's how I unwind.
