He held leadership roles in both enterprise and consumer businesses across the company, and was executive vice president of Microsoft’s Cloud and Enterprise group. In that role he led the transformation to the cloud infrastructure and services business. Before joining Microsoft, Mr Nadella was a member of the technology staff at Sun Microsystems. He earned a bachelor’s degree in electrical engineering from Mangalore University.
