Rick Duong Email & Phone Number

I love working with tech and partners. I’ve been blessed to work in a number of exciting technologies and companies which include Amazon, Apple, IBM, and Unity. But my most impactful and enjoyable work has been at Microsoft and GitHub where I am empowering every person on the planet to achieve more by building partnerships and ecosystems. I launched the technical preview of GitHub Copilot, that introduced the world to AI pair programming. I describe my philosophy as being able to adapt to the changing world of tech and business. I embrace challenges and see failure as essential to growth. "Empty your mind, be formless, shapeless — like water. Now you put water in a cup, it becomes the cup; You put water into a bottle it becomes the bottle; You put it in a teapot it becomes the teapot. Now water can flow or it can crash. Be water, my friend." - Bruce LeeAs a leader, I have enjoyed mentoring, coaching and growing individuals to successful leadership roles through out the industry. I hold several patents in technology and software. I have an MBA from the Kelley School of Business from Indiana University, one of the top MBA programs in the world.
