This week’s guest is truly a force of nature, with a career at Microsoft spanning almost four decades!

Jean-Philippe Courtois (or JP, as he is commonly known) is the Executive Vice President and President, National Transformation Partnerships at Microsoft. 

His focus is on transforming national economies, helping to create sustainable and inclusive economic growth through digital transformation, one country at a time. 

He’s a huge advocate and is deeply passionate about positive leadership and how purpose-led leaders can generate a positive energy that achieves greater commercial success, individual happiness, team wellbeing and positive societal impact.

In this wide-ranging discussion, we explore his 38 year career trajectory in Microsoft, his North Star and guiding principles that led him towards his Why, and what Positive Leadership looks like in practice. 

JP is also the host of the Positive Leadership Podcast, and you can bet that we took the chance to ask him about his most memorable and impactful moment hosting the pod!
