About

They say that if you find a job you love, you will never work a day in your life. I feel incredibly lucky that my job aligns with my passions, pushes me to grow and learn every day, and allows me to work with incredibly bright and compassionate people. I spend my days thinking about how technology can change people’s lives in meaningful ways, driving business growth by better serving our customers, and building a world-class, diverse and inclusive organization where my employees can achieve their goals. As Corporate Vice President for Microsoft 365 and Copilot, I have the privilege to work on revolutionary AI technology that is transforming the way we live, work, and learn. By identifying trends and understanding the needs of our customers and partners, my team brings to market innovations that help us navigate this unprecedented shift in the way we work. I love sharing our latest AI features, customer stories, and real-life examples of how my team is embracing AI at work. Outside of Microsoft, I enjoy spending time with my family and friends, and you’re likely to catch me on a run in the early mornings. Learning to pace myself while focusing on the road ahead as a long-distance runner has become a metaphor for how I approach my work. I am inspired by my daughters to continue experimenting with flexible work styles, balancing a demanding career with my personal interests and family adventures around the Pacific Northwest and beyond.
