Satya Nadella (Template:Lang-te) is the Chief Executive Officer of Microsoft. He was appointed CEO on February 4, 2014, succeeding Steve Ballmer. Previously, he was executive vice president of Microsoft’s Cloud and Enterprise group, responsible for building and running the company’s computing platforms, developer tools and cloud services.
Early life
He was born in Hyderabad, Andhra Pradesh, India to an IAS officer, B. N. Yugandhar, hailing from Guntur District. who was a member of the Planning Commission during 2004–2009 under Prime Minister Manmohan Singh. Satya attended the Hyderabad Public School in Begumpet before attaining a Bachelor of Engineering in Electronics and communication degree from Manipal Institute of Technology, Manipal, Karnataka. though on the Microsoft site, it has his institution listed as Mangalore University.
After moving to the US, Nadella earned an MS in Computer Science from the University of Wisconsin–Milwaukee and an MBA from the University of Chicago Booth School of Business.
Growing up, playing cricket was his "passion", and he played it competitively as a member of his school's team. "I think playing cricket taught me more about working in teams and leadership that has stayed with me throughout my career."
Nadella has said he, "always wanted to build things." He knew that computer science was what he wanted to pursue. But that emphasis was not available when he attended Manipal University in India, where he got a bachelor's degree in electrical engineering. “And so it was a great way for me to go discover what turned out to become a passion,” he says.
