A team people leave Microsoft to join

Conviction that's contagious.

When our CEO left Microsoft’s Cloud & AI team to build NUI, others followed. His former mentor, and that mentor’s manager, also left Microsoft to join NUI. Today, they lead our Product and Sales teams.

It's a pattern we're proud of: senior operators from some of the most influential technology organizations in the world choosing to build here.
