Sona Pochybova

I currently work as a Lead Software Engineer – Technical Advisor in the Marketing Services Tech Solutioning team at Mastercard. I evaluate business challenges and offer criteria and guidance on optimal technology solutions, enabling Marketing Services to move fast and be effective. I bring over 10 years of extensive and diverse experience leading complex, cross‑functional initiatives in regulated and data‑intensive environments. Prior to joining Mastercard, I spent over three years at Microsoft, working across engineering and management roles leading the Emissions Impact Dashboard for Microsoft 365, with a focus on data governance, privacy, security, and GA readiness. Most recently at SessionM, I led the Golang engineering team and navigated complex platform dependencies, driving alignment across product, data, and engineering stakeholders.
