Satya Nadella (Enterprise Software / Cloud) at Microsoft — Redmond, United States

Satya Nadella became Microsoft's CEO in 2014, inheriting a company that had missed mobile and struggled culturally. Through a growth mindset cultural transformation, aggressive cloud pivot via Azure, and landmark acquisitions of LinkedIn ($26B), GitHub ($7.5B), and Activision Blizzard ($68.7B), Nadella restored Microsoft to being one of the world's most valuable companies and a leading AI platform through its OpenAI partnership. His book Hit Refresh chronicles the cultural and strategic transformation.
