Subject: RE: Satya Nadella – Microsoft’s New CEO
Today is a very humbling day for me. It
reminds me of my very first day at Microsoft, 22 years ago. Like you, I had a
choice about where to come to work. I came here because I believed Microsoft was
the best company in the world. I saw then how clearly we empower people to do magical
things with our creations and ultimately make the world a better place. I knew
there was no better company to join if I wanted to make a difference. This is
the very same inspiration that continues to drive me today.
It is an incredible honor for me to lead
and serve this great company of ours. Steve and Bill have taken it from an idea
to one of the greatest and most universally admired companies in the world. I’ve
been fortunate to work closely with both Bill and Steve in my different roles
at Microsoft, and as I step in as CEO, I’ve asked Bill to devote additional
time to the company, focused on technology and products. I’m also looking
forward to working with John Thompson as our new Chairman of the Board.
While we have seen great success, we are
hungry to do more. Our industry does not respect tradition — it only respects
innovation. This is a critical time for the industry and for Microsoft. Make no
mistake, we are headed for greater places — as technology evolves and we evolve
with and ahead of it. Our job is to ensure that Microsoft thrives in a mobile
and cloud-first world.
As we start a new phase of our journey
together, I wanted to share some background on myself and what inspires and
motivates me.
Who am I?
I
am 46. I’ve been married for 22 years and we have 3 kids. And like anyone else,
a lot of what I do and how I think has been shaped by my family and my overall life
experiences. Many who know me say I am also defined by my curiosity and thirst
for learning. I buy more books than I can finish. I sign up for more online
courses than I can complete. I fundamentally believe that if you are not
learning new things, you stop doing great and useful things. So family,
curiosity and hunger for knowledge all define me.
Why am I here?
I
am here for the same reason I think most people join Microsoft — to change the
world through technology that empowers people to do amazing things. I know it
can sound hyperbolic — and yet it’s true. We have done it, we’re doing it
today, and we are the team that will do it again.
I
believe over the next decade computing will become even more ubiquitous and
intelligence will become ambient. The coevolution of software and new hardware
form factors will intermediate and digitize — many of the things we do and
experience in business, life and our world. This will be made possible by an ever-growing
network of connected devices, incredible computing capacity from the cloud,
insights from big data, and intelligence from machine learning.
This is a software-powered world.
It
will better connect us to our friends and families and help us see, express,
and share our world in ways never before possible. It will enable businesses to
engage customers in more meaningful ways.
I am here because we have unparalleled
capability to make an impact.
Why are we here?
In our early
history, our mission was about the PC on every desk
and home, a goal we have mostly achieved in the developed world. Today we’re
focused on a broader range of devices. While the deal is not yet complete, we will
welcome to our family Nokia devices and services and the new mobile capabilities
they bring us.
As
we look forward, we must zero in on what Microsoft can uniquely contribute to
the world. The opportunity ahead will require us to reimagine a lot of what we
have done in the past for a mobile and cloud-first world, and do new things.
We
are the only ones who can harness the power of software and deliver it through
devices and services that truly empower every individual and every organization.
We are the only company with history and continued focus in building platforms
and ecosystems that create broad opportunity.
Qi
Lu captured it well in a recent meeting when he said that Microsoft uniquely empowers
people to "do more." This doesn’t mean that we need to do more
things, but that the work we do empowers the world to do more of what they care
about — get stuff done, have fun, communicate and accomplish great things. This
is the core of who we are, and driving this core value in all that we do — be
it the cloud or device experiences — is why we are here.
What
do we do next?
To
paraphrase a quote from Oscar Wilde — we need to believe in the impossible and
remove the improbable.
This
starts with clarity of purpose and sense of mission that will lead us to
imagine the impossible and deliver it. We need to prioritize innovation that is
centered on our core value of empowering users and organizations to “do more.”
We have picked a set of high-value activities as part of our One Microsoft
strategy. And with every service and device launch going forward we need to
bring more innovation to bear around these scenarios.
Next,
every one of us needs to do our best work, lead and help drive cultural change.
We sometimes underestimate what we each can do to make things happen and
overestimate what others need to do to move us forward. We must change this.
Finally,
I truly believe that each of us must find meaning in our work. The best work
happens when you know that it's not just work, but something that will improve
other people's lives. This is the opportunity that drives each of us at this
company.
Many companies aspire to change the world. But very few have all the
elements required: talent, resources, and perseverance. Microsoft has proven
that it has all three in abundance. And as the new CEO, I can’t ask for a
better foundation.
Let’s build on this foundation together.
