I joined Microsoft exactly a year before Ballmer left and Satya became CEO and then I worked there for 12 years. So I kind of rode along seeing the company transform through the years. Yes, Satya does seem like a visionary leader, executive and manager. He did change up nearly the entire senior leadership team (SLT) under him over the next few years after he became CEO. I think Scott Guthrie was the only EVP left standing from the Ballmer era. Maybe Brad Smith too. At any rate most of them were made to leave and he onboarded a new SLT that got behind him and his vision for the company. One of his biggest achievements I think was to get the different orgs talking to each other instead of competing with each other. He *really* sold the vision of “One Microsoft” right down to the rank and file (like me) and it felt like you were part of something big and that the company was a net positive for the world (though there is plenty that even the new Microsoft gets wrong I am sure) which I think is a key CEO responsibility.

So when do we get Satya Nadella on the show? :-)

Sam Altman pauses right after he starts his sentence like ChatGPT

Altman saying "I'm a big Satya fan" is Itself enough for my cognitive bias to accept that he's one of the great CEOs of this century.

Satya did great things for what was otherwise a huge drowning ship.

I think that Sam is exactly right about Satya Nadella that he is a leader with compassion and wisdom. There are great leaders like Elon Musk who ride on high horses and forget the kindness and compassion to their teams and lead by fear rather than by respect.

His pivots into cloud, office subscription and AI are quite GOAT visionary. I remember in 09 when Azure was just a baby. He really doubled down on the right product market fits, embraced open source, made MS products not proprietary or exclusive but intended it to work with multiple other software solutions. His direction worked so far and he's now powering the next generation of AI.

Altman's genius is that he could still go around claiming OpenAI is 'open' 😉

Satya pays OpenAI's bills. He had only one way to answer that question.

I have to say many things about Nadella. Bill Gates has been my hero all the time because by the 90's he put computers closer to us, at least to low median-income people, you could not buy an Apple computer by that time. Nadella has been doing good things as well, following that route, he sits down with Linux, it was a great approach. Today we can have Microsoft products cheaper, but Open Source is still our vision.

Of course his is, he has been at Microsoft forever. He knows the company in and out.

To be fair, what do you expect the guy who just essentially had his company bought by MSFT to say? He's only going to praise the new boss. It would be pretty dumb to take the MSFT investment and turn around to say their CEO doesn't know what he's doing.
