Puneet Valad is the M365 Power Platform Product Owner within the Office of the Chief Information Officer at the South Australian Department of Treasury and Finance. He contributes to the strategic direction and adoption of Microsoft Power Platform across the South Australian Government, working with agencies to enable innovation while ensuring solutions are secure, scalable and appropriately governed.

With a background in software engineering and enterprise application development, Puneet brings a strong technical foundation alongside a whole-of-government perspective on digital transformation. His work spans platform strategy, architecture, governance, security and enablement, helping agencies navigate the opportunities and complexities of adopting low-code and emerging technologies at scale.

Puneet is particularly interested in how the Microsoft Power Platform and its broader ecosystem can bring together low-code development, automation, data, integration and AI to solve complex business problems and transform the way organisations operate. He is passionate about enabling teams to move beyond simply digitising existing processes and instead rethink how technology can deliver better, more sustainable ways of working.

For Medicines Management 2026, he brings this enterprise perspective to exploring how Power Platform can support and shape the future of pharmacy operations.
