99 – Commitment to Microsoft Education Mission with Optimism, Inclusion, and Energy

Joining the 99th Episode of Ultimate Guide to Partnering is Anthony Salcito, Microsoft’s Vice President for Worldwide Education. In his role leading the worldwide execution of Microsoft’s vision for education, Anthony Salcito works to help empower educators and inspire students to achieve more. He aims to transform the way we learn with the support of the best technology to help build critical skills for the modern, global workplace. What comes across loud and clear in this interview is Anthony’s Commitment to Microsoft Education Mission with Optimism, Inclusion, and Energy.

I was so excited to welcome Anthony, as we worked closely together during my time at Microsoft. Anthony is one of the most passionate, purpose-driven, and education-focused individuals. I can’t think of a leader who better embodies and lives the mission of the business. And Microsoft’s Education Mission so closely aligns with Microsoft’s mission to empower every person and every organization on the planet to achieve more.

With a belief that educators will forever be the heroes of the classroom, Anthony also authors Daily Edventures (http://dailyedventures.com/), which highlights the inspiring stories of educators, students, education thought leaders and school leaders from around the world. He has also helped author a book on Education Transformation which serves as a reference guide for schools looking to drive innovation to enhance student outcomes. 

I invited Anthony to the podcast as I wanted our partner listeners to learn more about Microsoft’s Commitment to the Mission of Education and the opportunity for partners to get on board to drive this transformation. I also wanted Anthony to share his amazing career journey to help others learn. Things you’ll learn in this episode:

  • Microsoft’s broad vision in education impacting 25% of the world’s population.
  • How education and education organizations have rapidly transformed during this time.
  • The critical role of partners and how they can best optimize for success working with and through Microsoft.
  • Anthony’s career journey at Microsoft led to this commitment to education.

I hope you enjoy this discussion as much as I enjoyed my time with Anthony Salcito.
