The rise of Satya Nadella, the game-changing CEO of Microsoft

When Satya Nadella first took the reins as Microsoft CEO in February 2014, the company was losing steam - fast.

Windows 8 had been a disaster. Microsoft employees were constantly battling behind the scenes for supremacy. And all the while, consumers and developers alike were losing the faith.

Now, as we come into the final months of 2016, Microsoft has found its groove again as a company that provides software and services to everyone, on any device - and is even starting to convert some Apple fans to Windows.

There's still a lot that Microsoft needs to do. But we thought it'd be fun and interesting to take a look back at the life and career of Satya Nadella, the CEO who's making it all happen at one of the biggest, most valuable technology companies on the planet.
