Since then, he\u2019s led the company to its present pinnacle of success, with the company now valued at $3 trillion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A few of his recent accolades in the last year include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Microsoft made<strong> <\/strong>TIME\u2019s list of most influential companies of the year, highlighting the company\u2019s heavy investments in AI. (Nadella was listed on the TIME 100 list of most influence people in 2018.)&nbsp; <strong><\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>CNN Business chose Nadella as its CEO of the Year,&nbsp;beating out other high-profile businesspeople.&nbsp;The reason, according to the CNN judging panel, was that Nadella was the first to commercialize and add AI tools like ChatGPT into its product line, influencing the commercial direction of AI.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The Georgia Institute of Technology presented Nadella with an honorary doctoral degree.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>The company\u2019s rise has coincided with its support for STEM education and automation research at 51ÁÔÆæ with the College of Engineering &amp; Applied Science as the main recipient.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cMicrosoft\u2019s support of 51ÁÔÆæ has revolved around some of the same priorities that fueled the company\u2019s business in the last decade,\u201d said Brett Peters, dean of 51ÁÔÆæ\u2019s College of Engineering &amp; Applied Science. \u201cFor instance, Microsoft donated credits of its leading Cloud processing software service, Azure, to 51ÁÔÆæ\u2019s Connected Systems Institute. And Satya and his wife Anu have expanded that to also focus on workforce development and diversity, with their generous support of our local students.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Support for 51ÁÔÆæ research<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Microsoft has been a key partner in 51ÁÔÆæ\u2019s Connected Systems Institute (CSI), a statewide research hub that brings together academia, industry and government to solve real-world problems using the industrial internet of things.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In 2019,&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/uwm.edu\/news\/microsoft-corp-president-announces-donation-worth-more-than-1-5-million-to-uw-milwaukees-connected-systems-institute\/\">Microsoft gave 51ÁÔÆæ more than $1.5 million<\/a>&nbsp;in cash, Microsoft Azure cloud computing credits and Surface Hub devices to advance CSI.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Microsoft followed that up recently, in January 2024, with a <a href=\"https:\/\/uwm.edu\/news\/microsoft-gives-uwm-1-2-million-for-connected-systems-institute-at-uwm\/\">second donation of $1.2 million<\/a> to CSI. The gift will be used to educate Wisconsin\u2019s talent pipeline for Industry 4.0 manufacturing, which allows small and medium manufacturers to integrate new technologies, such as the internet of things, AI and smart robotics, into their production processes.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cCSI, with the help of Microsoft, has moved rapidly into the AI space with the hopes of providing tangible technology solutions to manufacturers,\u201d said Microsoft Chief AI Officer Balamurugan Balakreshnan. \u201cFor example, CSI recently completed research on an AI vision system and deployed at CSI an AI chatbot that assists manufacturers on the shop floor in accessing information quickly.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Shamar Webster (\u201923 MS Computer Science) worked with Balakreshnan in <a href=\"https:\/\/uwm.edu\/news\/uwms-connected-systems-institute-develops-a-manufacturing-chatbot-for-workers\/\">creating the factory chatbox<\/a> last fall in his final semester before graduation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Scholarships for students from underserved communities<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In 2021, Nadella and wife Anu Nadella also <a href=\"https:\/\/uwm.edu\/news\/satya-and-anu-nadella-donate-2-million-to-uwm-to-increase-diversity-in-tech-education\/\">donated $2 million to support scholarships<\/a> for undergraduate students from marginalized and underserved communities, preparing them with the skills to pursue careers in computer science, data science and information technology. The gift also funds expanded student services, such as advising, mentoring and tutoring, as well as emergency grant support to help these students remain successful in pursuing their degrees.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Finally, the gift supports pre-college programming to encourage students from marginalized and underserved communities to enroll in these STEM fields.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The College of Engineering &amp; Applied Science welcomed the first and second cohorts of scholarship winners with full-ride scholarships in Fall 2022 and 2023, respectively.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In 2018, Nadella made a $250,000 contribution to an <a href=\"https:\/\/www.give.uwm.edu\/s\/1902\/m19\/interior-dev.aspx?sid=1902&amp;gid=3&amp;pgid=1334&amp;cid=3367&amp;ecid=3367&amp;crid=0&amp;calpgid=2380&amp;calcid=5897\">endowed scholarship fund<\/a> set up in emeritus professor K. Vairavan&#8217;s name. Many computer science, electrical and computer engineering students have benefited annually from this fund.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Nadella grew up in the southern India and earned a bachelor\u2019s degree in electrical engineering at Mangalore University. He moved to the U.S. to study at 51ÁÔÆæ. In 2013, he received the 51ÁÔÆæ Chancellor\u2019s Innovation Award for his leadership of Microsoft\u2019s Server &amp; Tools Division, a year before being named as CEO of Microsoft. In 2021, \u201cChairman\u201d was added to his title.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It\u2019s been a great decade for Satya Nadella (\u201990 MS Computer Science), who took over as CEO of Microsoft Corp. on Feb. 4, 2014.
