While he hardly needs an introduction, few leaders have shaped the future of technology quite like Satya Nadella.
He stepped into Microsoft’s top job at a catalytic moment—making bold bets on the cloud, embedding AI into the fabric of computing, all while staying true to Microsoft’s vision of becoming a “software factory.”
In this conversation with Aditya Agarwal and Ruchi Sanghvi, Satya discusses:
• his approach to building early at Microsoft and why we all need to continue “refounding”
• the future of AI and why critical thinking will remain at a premium
• Microsoft’s partnership with OpenAI, his vision for quantum, and more
