About

As the Executive Vice President of Security at Microsoft, I lead the engineering teams dedicated to making the digital world safer for everyone. My mission is to build a secure global infrastructure by driving innovation across Identity, Threat Protection, Compliance, Data Protection and Management —leveraging the power of AI to stay ahead of evolving threats. Throughout my career, I have thrived at the intersection of complex technology and business value. Most recently, as President of Customer Experience for Google Cloud, I led a multi-billion-dollar global commercial business, overseeing Strategic Accounts, Industry, Customer Engineering, Partner Ecosystems, Consulting and Learning. My focus has always been singular: helping customers move from an initial idea to tangible business outcome as quickly as possible. With a diverse background spanning engineering, product management, marketing, and sales, I have built and scaled high-performing teams across cloud services, software, and hardware. My journey includes senior leadership roles at Microsoft—including CVP of Commercial Solutions and CVP of Modern Work and Security—and over a decade at Nortel. I am passionate about building diverse teams that solve the world’s most pressing technical challenges.
