Vice President and Chief Technology Officer for Strategic Incubations at Microsoft, passionate about technology and business and fortunate to have driven some of Microsoft's most exciting businesses from their inception, such as the cloud platform for developers and our Artificial Intelligence technologies, where I had the opportunity to drive the incubation and thought leadership of the emerging AI business in Microsoft. Now driving incubation, growth and thought leadership for new strategic technologies and business at Microsoft enabling the future of cloud, including Quantum Computing and Artificial Intelligence, Space, and the future of telecommunications.There are three things to know about me: - What defines me: a passion for both technology and business. In my career between business and technical leadership roles, I'm usually pointed as the technical guy in Business and the business guy in Engineering, and I'm proud of it! - My purpose: I've been incredibly lucky to work with some of the most fascinating technologies of our time, but technology is just an enabler. My purpose is to put the next generation of technologies including quantum, AI, or space into the companies of any industry who are really the ones who can change the world with them. - What I do: To fulfil my purpose, I had to learn how to drive innovation and turn it into businesses that can ultimately be used by our customers. Driving the technology, strategy, culture and responsibility to make that happen is my passion, and there's nothing I enjoy more than discussing with other companies how to do it.
