Before becoming CEO, he was Executive Vice President of Microsoft 's cloud and enterprise group, responsible for building and running the company 's computing platforms, developer tools and cloud computing services. Contents 1 Early life 2 Career 2.1 Sun Microsystems 2.2 Microsoft 3 Personal life 4 Publications 5 References 6 External links Early life Nadella was born in Hyderabad, Andhra Pradesh, India ( now in the state of Telangana ), to a brahmin family that is originally from Bukkapuram village in Rayalaseema. His father, Bukkapuram Nadella Yugandher, was a civil servant who worked at the prestigious Indian Administrative Service within the Government of India. Nadella attended the Hyderabad Public School, Begumpet before receiving a bachelor 's in electrical engineering from the Manipal Institute of Technology ( then part of Mangalore University ) in 1988. Nadella subsequently traveled to the U.S. to study for a M.S. in computer science at the University of Wisconsin -- Milwaukee, receiving his degree in 1990. Later, he received an MBA from the University of Chicago. Nadella said he `` always wanted to build things '' and that electrical engineering `` was a great way for ( him ) to go discover what turned out to become a passion, '' computer science. Career Sun Microsystems Nadella worked at Sun Microsystems as a member of its technology staff prior to joining Microsoft in 1992. Microsoft At Microsoft, Nadella has led major projects that included the company 's move to cloud computing and the development of one of the largest cloud infrastructures in the world. Nadella worked as the senior vice-president of Research and Development ( R&D ) for the Online Services Division and vice-president of the Microsoft Business Division. Later, he was made the president of Microsoft 's $19 billion Server and Tools Business and led a transformation of the company 's business and technology culture from client services to cloud infrastructure and services. He has been credited for helping bring Microsoft 's database, Windows Server and developer tools to its Azure cloud. The revenue from Cloud Services grew to $20.3 billion in June 2013 from $16.6 billion when he took over in 2011. He received $18 million in 2016 pay. Nadella 's 2013 base salary was nearly $700,000, for a total compensation, with stock bonuses, of $7.6 million. Previous positions held by Nadella include : President of the Server & Tools Division ( 9 February 2011 -- February 2014 ) Senior Vice-President of Research and Development for the Online Services Division ( March 2007 -- February 2011 ) Vice-President of the Business Division Corporate Vice-President of Business Solutions and Search & Advertising Platform Group Executive Vice-President of Cloud and Enterprise group On 4 February 2014, Nadella was announced as the new CEO of Microsoft, the third chief executive in the company 's history, following Bill Gates and Steve Ballmer. In October 2014, Nadella courted controversy when he made a statement that women should not ask for a raise and should trust the system. The statement was made while he was attending an event on Women in Computing in Phoenix, AZ. Nadella was roundly criticised for the statement and he apologised later on Twitter. He later sent an email to Microsoft employees admitting he was `` Completely wrong ''. Nadella changed the company 's direction after becoming CEO. His tenure has emphasized openness to working with companies and technologies with which Microsoft also competes, including Apple Inc., Salesforce, IBM, and Dropbox. In contrast to previous Microsoft campaigns against the Linux operating system, Nadella proclaimed that `` Microsoft ♥ Linux '', and in 2016, Microsoft joined the Linux Foundation as a Platinum member. Under Nadella Microsoft revised its mission statement to `` empower every person and every organization on the planet to achieve more ''. In comparison to founder Bill Gates 's `` a PC on every desk and in every home, running Microsoft software '', Nadella says that it is an enduring mission, rather than a temporal goal. His key goal has been transforming Microsoft 's corporate culture into one that values continual learning and growth. He has cited the book Mindset : The New Psychology of Success by Carol Dweck as inspiration for this philosophy around a `` growth mindset ''. Nadella 's leadership of Microsoft included a series of high - profile acquisitions of other companies, to redirect Microsoft 's focus. His first major acquisition was of Mojang, a Swedish game company best known for the popular freeform computer building game Minecraft, in late 2014, for $2.5 billion. Minecraft was notably a cross-platform game, with versions running on Apple 's iOS mobile devices, and the Sony PlayStation dedicated gaming console, as well as Microsoft 's Xbox. He followed that in 2016 by purchasing Xamarin and LinkedIn. In the years since becoming CEO, Nadella is viewed as having done well, with Microsoft stock having risen more than 130 % since he took over and achieving an all - time high. During his leadership, stock in the company has grown at an annualized rate of 23 %. Personal life In 1992, Nadella married Anupama, daughter of his father 's Indian Administrative Service ( IAS ) batchmate, K.R. Venugopal. The couple has three children, a son and two daughters, and lives in Bellevue, Washington. Nadella is an avid reader of business literature and of American and Indian poetry. He also nurses a passion for cricket, having played on his school team. Nadella has authored a book titled Hit Refresh that explores his life, his career in Microsoft and how he believes technology will shape the future. It was announced that the profits from the book would go to Microsoft Philanthropies and through that to nonprofit organizations.
