When I left Microsoft, I had a bold vision: I wanted to build an impactful, big business with a small team.The conventional wisdom? Hire experienced professionals, and follow industry-standard practices.This approach didn’t resonate with me.Instead, I hired recent college graduates. No industry experience. No preconceived notions about how things "should" be done.I wanted to take a bunch of super-talented folks and train them and share with them the best practices I'd learned at Microsoft.I also wanted to share what they should avoid—things that can affect team culture or slow own our velocity.And it's worked out for us. We have a full-time staff of just 5 people. Every single one of those people is at the peak of their performance. I don't need to be available to them 24/7. We chat once a day to check if they need anything urgent and identify the most impactful tasks for the day.And because everyone is crystal clear on the vision, they're all highly motivated to achieve it. It's been an incredible journey so far—and we're just getting started.

The Microsoft Accessibility 101 training, once an internal only program, is now available to external audiences. Designed to help everyone understand the importance of accessibility and how to create inclusive experiences for all. I highly recommend taking the time to watch this set of short but comprehensive videos. #MicrosoftLife

In the ever-evolving landscape of Microsoft, I’ve come to learn the immense value of clear communication and the subtle nuances of unconscious bias. The culture here is robust, a nurturing ground for learning and an opportunity for profound personal transformation.On this day, a personal milestone intertwines with my professional narrative. Twenty-six years ago, my wife and I welcomed our son Zach into the world. His life, though tragically brief as we lost him on the third of May, has been a beacon of inspiration. Zach’s legacy urges me to savor every second, to relish each smile and laugh, and to embrace every chance for joy and connection.Today, I choose to share this intimate part of my story openly, stepping into the vulnerability that Microsoft’s culture has taught me to value. It’s a step towards healing, understanding, and fostering deeper connections within our world wide community as I continue to learn. As we continue to support one another in our individual and collective journeys, let us remember the lessons from the lives that touch us. Zach’s memory is a powerful reminder to make the most of every moment and to approach each day with gratitude and openness.I’m fortunate to be at Microsoft, where I can share this day with my teammates. We’re spending it at a school, sharing what Microsoft offers to the community. Later, we’ll strengthen our bonds through a team-building exercise—a bake-off competition. #MicrosoftCulture #PersonalGrowth #Openness #Vulnerability #TeamBuilding
