As chief marketing officer, I lead Microsoft’s global product marketing, advertising, brand, research and communications functions for businesses and consumers. I’ve worked at Microsoft for over 25 years in a variety of marketing leadership roles and am passionate about our mission to empower every person and organization on the planet to achieve more.

My own passion for technology and computing began when I was a kid and wrote a reservation system for our small, family Italian restaurant in Boston using dBASE for DOS on an early IBM PC.
