Microsoft

Corporate Vice President, Microsoft Teams

Dec 2017 – May 2022 · 4 yrs 5 mos · Greater Seattle Area

  • I was the Chief Technology Officer of Microsoft Teams and scaled the product from a few million to 300 million Monthly Active Users.
  • Teams shined where prior attempts had failed, emerging as the most innovative productivity software from Microsoft since late 90s.
  • This required not only building a world class global tech organization by recruiting and retaining top talent but also pushing the boundaries of app development across web, desktop, mobile, and cloud services.
  • The strategy I created for building modern desktop apps, scaling large scale cloud native services, and driving operations for 99.999% availability wasn't just specific to Teams but became an industry standard that's adopted inside and outside of Microsoft. In a nutshell, there was no blueprint for creating something like Teams - It was 4.5 years of continuous invention and pushing boundaries.
