Having a fascination and inclination toward most things technology-related, it’s no surprise that I found a path into technology as a profession. Nearly 30 years into my career (don’t let the picture fool you), I'm still just as excited to see a new way to approach an old challenge as I was the first time I stuck an 8-inch floppy into an IBM. Following 16 years running my own company, I again wanted to help solve some of the bigger challenges facing government. (In the late ‘90s, I served in the White House where I authored a business case to save $4.5 billion as part of a Federal government HR system, as well as helping to avert the Y2K bug.) So, I joined Microsoft. Constant learning and improvement has driven me (e.g., Microsoft Designing and Implementing a Data Science Solution on Azure [DP-100], Prosci, Microsoft-INSEAD AI Business School, three Microsoft certificates, TOGAF, PMI PMP). And not only learning in information technology, but also areas like transportation (I developed a technology architecture for a national transportation company that cut annual costs by 64%), K-12 special education (where I led a technology team that improved the student evaluation on-time rate by 20%), and the construction industry (resulting in the award of a US Patent).It would be my pleasure to connect with you. Feel free to contact me if you have any questions regarding business insights I can offer. Charles.Fox@microsoft.com (301) 771-8363P.S. Beyond work, my wife and I camp with our two boys, practice Shambhala meditation, make pizza (from scratch), am re-learning piano after a 50-year hiatus, and just completed AIARE 1 & Rescue training.
