Group Program Manager
Company NameMicrosoft Corp.
Dates EmployedApr 1992 – Feb 2005
Employment Duration12 yrs 11 mos
My last title at Microsoft was Group Program manager. Over the course of nearly 13 years I held a variety of roles including Product Manager, Product Planner, Program Manager, Lead Program Manager, Group Program Manager and Product Unit Manager. Program Management was my core discipline for 10+ years, and I did a lot of it.
I spent my first 7 years on Microsoft Word as I transitioned from marketing into technical roles. Then in 1999 I launched a small, new team in Office to use the Internet to help us get closer to our customers and improve product reliability. Well, whenever you see that "Send Error Report" dialog from Microsoft, you can think of me. I co-invented this along with two other wonderful developers (Kirk & Matt). My contribution was to evangelize it to rest of Microsoft and help kick off a bottoms-up revolution around quality. I also built teams focused on grounds-up security and privacy efforts. Collectively these comprised the Office efforts around Trustworthy Computing. See less
