Microsoft’s Chief Storyteller and General Manager of Microsoft’s Image & Culture team Steve Clayton recently got the opportunity to share his journey from Liverpool to Redmond in a TEDx talk. If you’re not familiar with them, TEDx events are independent TED (Technology, Entertainment Design) based events where executives, artists, politicians and more are given twenty minutes or more to deliver engaging exposés. Clayton, a 18 years Microsoft veteran is now in charge of team of storytellers and you can watch his very interesting talk after the video description below:

Steve joined Microsoft almost 20 years ago and in this TEDx talk reflects on the journey from Liverpool to role of Chief Storyteller at Microsoft’s HQ in Seattle. Using story, cartoons from his pal Hugh MacLeod and 3 short lessons, Steve shares insights from the journey with his home town crowd in Liverpool.

Steve’s personal journey takes him from Merseyside to Microsoft, Seattle. He rose to international fame when he became the very first person to conduct a public interview with the newly appointed CEO of Microsoft, Satya Nadella.

Radu Tyrsina has been a Windows fan ever since he got his first PC, a Pentium III (a monster at that time).

For most of the kids of his age, the Internet was an amazing way to play and communicate with others, but he was deeply impressed by the flow of information and how easily you can find anything on the web.

Prior to founding Windows Report, this particular curiosity about digital content enabled him to grow a number of sites that helped hundreds of millions reach faster the answer they’re looking for.
