Sarah Bond has been at Microsoft since 2017 and has quickly become a key Xbox leader. Bond was also instrumental behind the scenes with the Activision Blizzard deal, appearing at FTC v. Microsoft to carefully walk Judge Corley through the Xbox business https://www.theverge.com/.…

this is the new Xbox / Microsoft Gaming leadership team. If you look closely, you'll notice that there will be more women than men in the gaming leadership team at Microsoft once Activision Blizzard CEO Bobby Kotick departs. Full details here: https://www.theverge.com/...

This was deliberately done so whenever the Xbox president has a teams meeting with the president of game content, Bond will be making a Booty call. [embedded post]

The opportunity to spend so many years at Microsoft, work with Satya as CEO, and turn the company into a Cloud and AI powerhouse is an amazing gift that I don't take for granted.

I couldn't be happier for Takeshi and Yusuf, and I'm so grateful for my own 32 years of working at this wonderful company. I've been shaped by the amazing Microsoft employees, customers, and partners with whom I've had the privilege to work with and learn from.
