http://www.officeformac.com/ms/blog <p>Today I&rsquo;m delighted to introduce myself as the new general manager of the MacBU. This change in leadership comes as Craig Eisler has been promoted to a new role within the Entertainment &amp; Devices division of Microsoft.</p> <p>A little about myself: I am a 14-year Microsoft veteran and a charter member of MacBU, building Mac software at Microsoft since 1997. Most recently I was the Product Unit Manager of the MacBU Silicon Valley team, based in Mountain View, CA. In that role I managed a team of engineers in developing Office for Mac and other MacBU products.</p> <p>My first Mac was (and is) a beautiful SE/30 that I took with me to college. It still boots, still runs Word 3, and still has the 5MB of RAM I needed in order to use it for my first Computer Science class. The Mac, Office, and MacBU have come a long way since those early days, and it&rsquo;s been amazing to be a part of that change.</p> <p>I recently moved with my family from Mountain View to the Redmond area. After visiting many times in the past 12 years, it&rsquo;s fun to finally have an office in the Redmond MacBU building. And now I get to make my regular trip in reverse as I work with the team in Mountain View and Apple in Cupertino. I&rsquo;m excited to take on this new challenge, and I feel lucky to work with such a committed, passionate, and awesome team. Our best days are yet to come.</p> <p>See you at Macworld!</p> <p>-Eric</p> Mon, 24 Nov 2008 20:11:42 GMT Web Crossing(r) Unix-v6.4 built Jan 14 2010 18:50:13 (source:1372 2010-01-14 15:39:31 -0800)/Unix-6.4 (http://webcrossing.com/) http://backend.userland.com/rss
