Satya Nadella is the CEO of Microsoft, one of the most powerful and far-reaching technology companies in the world. He’s both a great corporate leader and a powerful thought leader when it comes to technology. But he’s also a father to a child with severe disabilities, a huge cricket fan and more than anything, he’s pretty funny in front of a crowd.

He's the VP of digital innovation at Providence St. Joseph Health, and he's developing technology like virtual doctor's visits and house calls that are as easy as calling an Uber.
