14 years at Microsoft My first post for a very long time, as I have been recovering from surgery. Today is the anniversary of when I started my career at Microsoft - 14 years! As I said last year , I’ve been really lucky, as I have done lots of different things, been exposed to different parts of the business, and seen it from different parts of the world. I have been very fortunate to work with some amazing people within Microsoft, as well as some outstanding organisations & people outside of Microsoft.

I’m glad you have been able to do some of the things that you have mentioned above. I wonder whether you got into Microsoft and developed interest in what they do or was it the other way around, where you knew exactly what you wanted to do and joined Microsoft to achieve the same?
