Satya Nadella Kicking Ass [rough draft, help!!]
| November 9, 2014 | Ask the readers, Editorials, Featured, Microsoft, Office, Windows Phone | 3 Comments
Here’s what I’ve observed under Nadella’s watch, the new Microsoft CEO. Right now this is a rough draft, so if you people give me more material I’ll pop it into the article, please and thank you.
- Full-throttle on cloud-first, namely with Office, making it quasi-free and opening it up to all major platforms. Almost one and a half million more subscribers each quarter.
- Most recent quarterly revenue of the Surface almost a billion dollars, over 2x YOY.
- Sold 6% more Lumias (9.3 million) this year than last. Non-Lumia WP growth on par with the rest of the market.
- Xbox sales up 60%.
- Making Wall Street happy, beating earnings estimates, stock is up 33% in the trailing twelve months, highest in 14 years, respectable P/E reflecting optimism.
- Charm offensive with China (China has money and they hate Google).
- Real ladies’ man.

Biographical info.. hmm. I have a history of not being able to strike the balance between what is "safe" to put into these forms and what is, in my mind at least, funny. Can't do it.

Glad, it’s a rough draft. Outside of making Office free, I think started the path for everything else.
Oops, I meant to say Ballmer started most of these.
Yeah, correct. Baller started those.
the only thing Nadella did so far by himself was kicking out almost 20.000 ppl.
Congrats.
