Prior to my summer internship with Microsoft, I sat down with Professor Tawana Kupe, and spent a few hours discussing Africa’s possible futures.
Brief life update: I moved to Redmond!
In this edition, I take you through my exciting transition into Microsoft, sharing insights from my role in business development and how I’m navigating this new chapter. From my work with the ID@Xbox team to embracing the vibrant tech culture of Redmond, I share the lessons, challenges, and opportunities that come with pivoting into the private sector.
In November 2024, Xbox launched a global campaign titled This is an Xbox. Xbox is no longer (just) a box. It is a platform. A streaming service. A digital ecosystem. If it has a screen and an internet connection, it can be an Xbox.
I am currently staying at Archer Hotel Redmond, where I’ll be based for the next few months as I complete my summer MBA internship with Microsoft, working in Business Development at Xbox.
