The 57-year-old asks his staff to set up calls with important people, who range from executives like Perplexity CEO Aravind Srinivas to other prominent leaders like former Seattle Seahawks head coach Pete Carroll.
When he gets these important people on the phone (because who would ignore the leader of a $3 trillion company?), he likes to focus on two questions that help him expand his network even further.
First, he likes to ask, “What new startups are you excited about?” The question is essential since, under Nadella, Microsoft has not been afraid to put money into innovative ideas, as evidenced by the company’s $10 billion investment in ChatGPT creator OpenAI in 2023.
Apart from the OpenAI investment, Microsoft reportedly invested $95 million into the humanoid-robotics startup Figure, which he was able to persuade to move to Microsoft Azure for AI infrastructure and training, Reuters reported. The company’s venture arm put an additional $25 million into database tech startup Neon earlier this year.
