Hi,

When Satya Nadella took the helm of Microsoft in 2014, he announced his intent to rebuild the software giant for a mobile- and cloud-first world.

Today, Nadella’s vision and strategic directives look incredibly prescient. In 2019, Microsoft became the third company to hit a $1 trillion market cap as its shares soared over 50 percent in value, significantly outperforming the S&P 500.

The reason? Its investment in the cloud, specifically Azure and Office 365.

Microsoft’s cloud platform Azure, which recently secured a massive contract with the Department of Defense, is creeping up on Amazon’s AWS dominance. And Nadella’s early focus on repositioning Office software as a cloud-based SaaS model with Apple integration resulted in double-digit revenue growth for the product.

We’ve invited Nadella to Code to discuss his success in remaking the software behemoth for a cloud-first world, his leadership style, his hardware ambitions, and where he sees the software sector headed next.

You can join us May 26-28 for that talk and many more at Code’s new location: The Beverly Hilton and Waldorf Astoria in Beverly Hills, California.
