I worked on assessing opportunities and developing strategies for Microsoft's involvement in:
Building IoT: visualization, remote access and predictive tools for Smart Buildings
Automotive: connected vehicle technology, telematics, advanced driver assistance systems and HD mapping
Education: learning management systems and low-cost, simple devices for K-12
Gig Economy: on-demand and remote talent marketplace and platforms
Health Tracking: early disease indication with Microsoft Band
Home Automation: IoT suites and integration of voice-based digital assistance
Privacy Promotion: ‘Scroogled’ ad campaign
and more!
I was also focused on tracking competitive developments and competitor investments in emerging technologies. I developed in-depth analyses to keep the EVP of Corporate Strategy & Operations informed, and worked with him to produce a company-wide Competitive Report on a monthly basis (examples: Jan ’17, Mar ’17, Apr ‘17, Jun ‘17, Jul ‘17).
I worked for Microsoft from June 2013 – June 2017. Due to the confidential nature of my work, please contact me [adler.nicole.s@gmail.com] to see sample Compete Reports or to inquire about other work samples.
