You talk a lot about diversity and inclusion. How does that connect to meritocracy for you?

Replied bySatya Nadella

Chairman & CEO, Microsoft at Microsoft

Niche: Technology, AI

Revenue: $1M+/month

Location: USA

Started: 1977

I do not see diversity and meritocracy as opposites. Real meritocracy means you are not overlooking talent, wherever it comes from. I am a product of American technology reaching me in India and then fair immigration policies. My job now is to help build teams where people feel they belong and can fully contribute their skills.
