After 12 life-changing years, I’ve made the very difficult decision to leave @Microsoft / @Xbox for a new, big and scary but amazing opportunity (will share soon!) Thanks to the OG Xbox, I’ve been the world’s biggest fan of Microsoft since childhood. Even though it felt like a moonshot, it was my dream to one day be a Microsoftee and get to work for the green X. And thanks to some amazing leaders, I can proudly tell teenage Jon that dreams do come true 🥲 I joined MSFT in college as an entry level retail associate at my local Microsoft Store, and am so grateful for everyone who took a risk on me in my 7 roles since. From helping ship two Gears games and launching @GearsEsports, to building the worldwide @MicrosoftStore Gaming & Esports program with a team of 85 amazing community managers, to launching MSFT’s first-ever Azure for Gaming sales vertical, and ultimately working in Matt Booty’s Chief of Staff office - it has been one heck of a journey I have to give a massive thank you to @JackFellingX who advocated hard for my first role in Gears / Xbox and was an amazing early in career manager (and now a very close friend). And @BondSarah_Bond who has been an unbelievable mentor and taught me so much about how to lead with heart and genuine care for others - all your time, kindness, and occasional Teams IM’s or LinkedIn comments have meant more than you know! I never in my life thought I’d leave Xbox or Microsoft (anyone who knows me knows how much I love the company) - but here’s to pushing yourself to try something new! Thank you MSFT/Xbox for an amazing 12 years, and to the hundreds of remarkable people who made me leap out of bed every morning excited to go to work. I’ll forever be a fan and advocate!
