This is one of the toughest posts I have ever made on LinkedIn. I have made the decision to leave Microsoft to take the next step in my career. I have absolutely LOVED the past 8 years helping to build the mighty Microsoft Advertising team from what was primarily a paid search offering to a full funnel, $10 billion+ ad business. We welcomed the teams from PromoteIQ and Xandr, created a first of its kind measurement partnership with Roku, launched our exclusive partnership with Netflix, developed our official presence in Japan and so much more. Lots of emotions, but mostly I am feeling grateful. Grateful for the team, grateful for an amazing leadership team and grateful to our clients, partners and agencies we get to work with every day. I am truly excited to hand the baton to Kya Sainsbury-Carter who will lead the MSA team from here. She is someone I have respected and admired for many years. Go get em Kya! More to come on my next role in the next few weeks. A HUGE heartfelt THANK YOU to all of my Microsoft colleagues and friends. Nothing but LOVE for you all. ❤️
