What's it like working with Bill Gates? Satya Nadella has a story for you
Microsoft founder Bill Gates may now have no role in the technology company but that does not mean he has lost certain habits. That day the current CEO of Microsoft, Satya Nadella, who shared a small story about what it's like to work with Gates.
Nadella told this story during a short presentation of a database system in Las Vegas.
"I must say that [this cloud database] without boundaries and transparent scale has been a dream for a long time. And Bill Gates recently met with the team that was developing it all and sent an email. And usually when you get an email from Bill over the weekend, you wait and think. Do you really want to open this email now? I've been working with Bill for a long time, "Nadella said.
"I started by saying 'Wow.' He had never seen these words of theirs, had never heard those words. He was really pleased to see us making progress. Of course there was a long list of things we needed to work on, "added the executive as a joke.
Gates still holds the position of member of the board of directors of Microsoft and continues to serve as technical adviser to Nadella, so he continues to make a habit of sending small-e-mails to company teams with corrections. Miguel Dias
