By Shivali Singla

Satya Nadella is the CEO of Microsoft. Before being named CEO, Nadella held leadership roles as Executive Vice President of Microsoft’s cloud and enterprise group, responsible for building and running the company’s computing platforms, developer tools and cloud computing services.
Also, before joining Microsoft, Nadella was a member of the technology staff at Sun Microsystems. On 4 February 2014, Nadella was announced as the new CEO of Microsoft, the third chief executive in the company’s history, following Bill Gates and Steve Ballmer.

Under Nadella, Microsoft revised its mission statement to “empower every person and organization on the planet to achieve more.” In comparison to founder Bill Gates‘s “a PC on every desk and in every home, running Microsoft software”, Nadella says that it is an enduring mission, rather than a temporal goal.

Recently he has come up with his book titled ‘Hit Refresh’, the book explores his life, Microsoft and how technology will shape the future. Know more about his book on the link below.
