Inside the Corner Office | #9 Satya Nadella - Chairman & CEO of Microsoft

In this episode of Inside the Corner Office, Thomas Buberl sits down with Satya Nadella, Chairman and CEO of Microsoft, to explore what leadership looks like in the era of AI. From navigating the legacy of iconic predecessors to shaping Microsoft’s mission and culture, Nadella reflects on what he calls a “refounding moment”, a turning point where clarity, humility, and conviction became the core drivers of his leadership. Drawing on lessons from his book Hit Refresh, he explains why culture is more important today than ever, and why the CEO role is as much about learning as it is about leading.

As Microsoft celebrates 50 years and AXA turns 40, the two CEOs, both “third-generation” leaders, discuss the demands of stewarding legacy companies over time. From the rise of AI to geopolitical change, Nadella offers a candid look at how global CEOs must evolve, touching on key topics including building trust, the increasing importance of digital sovereignty, and designing organizations that can adapt before the world demands it. A powerful conversation on leadership with heart, purpose, and precision.
