Listen Later

What happens when you give a start-up mindset the scale of a global giant? 


100,000+ employees. 
Global systems integrator. 
Layers of process that can slow anyone to a crawl. 


And yet, a Microsoft business unit emerged that runs like a start-up. 
Fast. 
Innovative. 
Able to get new ideas to market before the keynote’s even finished. 


In this episode of Microsoft Mentors, we cover: 

-The “creep” from hands-on engineer to strategic leader (and how to plan for it) 
-Why leaving after 17 years made him better when he came back 
-How to build GTM plans before Satya’s even finished the keynote 
-The real enterprise play in Sovereign Cloud & AI 
-Why upskilling sales teams is just as important as technical teams 
-Leading with ambition and humanity inside a huge organisation 


Adam’s career path is part roadmap, part reality check for anyone trying to move fast in a big corporate without breaking it.
