So I think a number of key incidents, shall we say forks in the road, I guess kind of led me to where I am. I grew up in Australia, but I think felt from a relatively early age that, I guess, some inherent curiosity that meant that I was keen to travel the world as much as I possibly can and learn from a variety of different experiences. I found myself upon completing my undergraduate degree, realizing that and I was probably not going to spend the rest of my adult life in Australia on moved very quickly to the UK where I originally moved to play cricket. With the intention of taking some time off and rapidly found myself going back to university, going back to school and doing my master's degree. Eventually, Microsoft. I worked in Microsoft in the UK for probably three or four years. The reason I joined Microsoft, I think, is an interesting once. I think it has actually helped shape and guide my path at Microsoft. I think one of the things I saw a very, very early on, and this is almost 15 years ago now was that Microsoft was this incredible company, but I thought largely misunderstood. And still, too, I believe despite the fact that we are the largest publicly listed company in the United States, I still believe we're largely misunderstood and if you'd walk down. You know, even a street in Seattle. Washington asked you just for just one word to describe Microsoft. I guarantee you'd end up with Bill Gates. Windows, uh, perhaps Office, and maybe even Xbox. And the reality is he hasn't worked full time at the company for about 15 years now when the red Apple operating system. But I think very much part of our past in the West of that our future is the motion of operating systems has become perhaps not as relevant probably has been in previous years. I think most people's perception of the Office still is grounded in this notion set of activity tools that are designed to help individuals. And so much of the work I do these days is dining groups and the Xbox is a wonderful, wonderful gaming platform. But when you think about Xbox's percentage of Microsoft's gaming revenue it's a random act, so it's a very small percentage. So when I say that work Microsoft is largely misunderstood, I think, this is the opportunity, not just for me. But I guess every single person that works at Microsoft to help cope better with this and the world with the understood company. For the last 15 years, I've spent a good chunk of my time, helping telling stories that some help changes the perception of who we are as a company mom. And for the lot of six years I've had the privilege and the opportunity, worked really closely with work stuff CEO Satya Nadella to identify your right to publish rich, compelling stories about Microsoft and its impact of technology which is actually led me to the world I'm currently in, which is leading up our efforts around inclusive design.

Yeah. So the responsibilities and the decisions that I make work in a relatively autonomous environment, and I would say this is true for a lot of people at Microsoft. Whilst we all have chains of command and we will have people that we report to, we tend to have a structure and a culture that is whatever typically defined and some tightly aligned loosely coupled by that, I mean, people above us will do a very good job of setting organizational strategy and allowing the people below them, to executing that strategy with the level of autonomy that some that makes it very, very easy for them to make the decisions that they need to make you want to get their work done. I would love to say that there's a typically typical weekly rhythm is what I do But unfortunately, it is not. Every week is different, every day is relatively different. Into and this just comes down to personal preference, tend to spend my mornings as much as the day begins. I'm typically quite an early riser. I wake up at about 5 a.m. and I'm in the office by no later than 7-7 30. I tend to use my mornings to work on the problems that I guess require the most amount of practical brainpower. And use the afternoons primarily for meetings and presentations where I can. And that's typically how I spend my days. In terms of the split between working from the office or, you know the beauty of working at Microsoft and having access to the best possible productivity tools. It means I can pretty much work from wherever I like. Increasingly, I think, over the last five or six years, I found myself spending more time leading and coaching other people. Often that means a lot more face to face interaction. But the beauty of the tools that we have at our disposal was we could do that over things like a video conference.

So working in my current role, I will often work with the people outside of my company. I will work with people who have a responsibility for both designs as well as included accessibility across other companies. Think about inclusion. We think we think about inclusion, not just in terms of here we are creating instead of schools that by their nature, are accessible but also take into account things like race and gender. You know, if we're gonna create a set of truly inclusive products we created to be very tightly aligned to a mission in terms of empowering every person on the planet to be able to achieve more, I think with such a bold mission like that, to allow every person on the planet to help you achieve that and so often I spend time with people in a fairly diverse set of roles. It has just been a lot of time with people working in communications. That's something for the last five or six years, I've spent a lot of time working with the press, the media, as well as communications people from across a variety of different companies to help shape the kinds of stories that ultimately changed the perception of the company. In terms of the approaches that I found to be most effective in working with them. Let me try and reframe the question slightly because I think you've been to over that a couple of different ways. One you contemporary simply, too. Hey, what's the best way to meet with those people? But I think every single person is relatively new is relatively different, I think, and it will depend based on what you're actually trying to do, that the most effective mechanism which to through its due to meet with him. I'm the kind of person that values face to face meetings where I can, I think, the ability to be able to sit down on and truly. I understand exactly what someone else is looking for and make sure that they feel like they are. I think it's always better through discussions based rather than perhaps over the top on, but, existed before you know we have access to tools, allows seeing every single part of how we communicated well, just through voice through every single verbal communication cute. And we have two things like Microsoft teams from other forms of communication and make it very easy to be able to ensure that information is not lost in translation. The lot is increasing as I've moved into a role where inclusion and accessibility is critical component of that role. There are very few meetings that I go into now where things like closed captioning on and transcription service are turned on by the fault, which does a couple of things. It allows us to create truly inclusive meetings that everyone can actually participate. Equally important, it provides us with a really great transcript of what's gone on in any given conversational meeting, which allows us, collectively to hold each other accountable. Hey, wise, that would be a little bit more challenging, I guess in the past, so that's equal to
