Director, Strategy and M&A

2012 - 2014

Responsibility was to work closely with Satya Nadella and other senior technical and business leaders of Microsoft’s $20B+ Cloud & Enterprise product lines (formerly Server and Tools Business) to figure out and where we could profitably make another dollar. My team both ideated new business hypotheses and evaluated the product teams’ hypotheses of how Microsoft could grow through new businesses, new products, or new features of existing products. Position required very high "learning agility", i.e. the ability to pick things up quickly, to learn on the job, and to take initiative. When C&E came to the consensus to grow inorganically, we vetted and refined the business model, quantified the opportunity, valued the target, and managed the deal process for Microsoft’s Windows Server, Azure, SQL Server, System Center, and Development Tools (e.g. Visual Studio) product lines, as well as the Commerce Platform that services all of Microsoft.
