Our ambitions are bold and so must be our desire to change and evolve our culture.

It's not really about asking for the raise but knowing and having faith that the system will actually give you the right raises as you go along. And that, I think, might be one of the additional superpowers that, quite frankly, women who don't ask for raises have. Because that's good karma. It'll come back. Because somebody's going to know: 'That's the kind of person that I want to trust. That's the kind of person that I want to really give more responsibility to.'

Our ambitions are bold and so must be our desire to change and evolve our culture.

What was true then and what is true now is that we create technology so others can create more technology.

Our mission of empowering every person and every organization on the planet to achieve more is really a look back to the very creation of Microsoft.

Be passionate and bold. Always keep learning. You stop doing useful things if you don't learn.

Finally, I truly believe that each of us must find meaning in our work. The best work happens when you know that it's not just work, but something that will improve other people's lives.
