I am fortunate to head Microsoft Digital, the IT organization at Microsoft whose mission is to power, protect, and transform the digital employee experience across devices, applications, and hybrid infrastructure. With more than 200k full-time employees and 100k vendors across 150 geographies, and 1.1 million guests visiting 580+ buildings worldwide annually, the breadth and depth of my team’s responsibility and reach is unparalleled.As a champion of a digitally connected first, hybrid work environment, I’ve had the privilege of leading Microsoft Digital’s transformation over the past several years, evolving it from an information technology-centric organization to a modern, AI vision-led, experience centric organization. This includes defining, creating, and delivering the vision for Microsoft’s overall employee experience; accelerating the growth of Microsoft’s corporate functions such as human resources, corporate and legal affairs, and real estate; and transforming and securing Microsoft’s internal network and infrastructure while assisting with campus modernization and hybrid solutions. I’ve also had the pleasure of working with many customer and industry CIOs and CTOs to help them further their company’s vision as well.A pioneer of digital transformation in the enterprise and a passionate steward of the employee experience, I take my team’s role as “Customer Zero” for Microsoft very seriously and are manically focused on empowering Microsoft employees with the tools and services that define the future of work. As that “first customer” to a wide variety of Microsoft products and services, my organization is responsible for making sure that these products and services don’t just meet expectations, they exceed them. By collaborating with product teams to apply internal employee learnings and feedback to improve upon Microsoft’s go-to-market offerings, Microsoft Digital is ensuring a better product outcome for customers and are in direct support of Microsoft’s mission to “empower every person and every organization on the planet to achieve more.”As a strong advocate for Women in Tech, I’m very active with several Microsoft initiatives including the Women’s Employee Resource Group, and lead regular discussions on diversity, accessibility and inclusion, wellness and empathy in the workplace. I’ve also been a speaker at several industry events that focus on Future of Work, Hybrid Work, Digital Transformation and/or Employee Experience.
