thrives.‘ Dr. Tyrone’s leadership approach prioritizes inclusivity, trust, and ethical decision-making, cultivating an environment where collaboration Curiosity and innovation are at the core of everything Dr. Tyrone does, and he believes they are the lifeblood of any successful team or organization. At Microsoft, he sees his role as a leader not just as setting direction but as creating an environment where people feel empowered to explore, experiment, and think beyond the obvious. To inspire his teams to push the boundaries of technology, he emphasizes the importance of asking “what if?”—a question that invites imagination, challenges assumptions, and unlocks new possibilities. The goal was ambitious: to use advanced analytics to identify underserved populations and recommend actionable solutions. While the vision was compelling, the execution revealed critical gaps in understanding the communities the team was trying to serve. “ He encourages this mindset by creating a culture of psychological safety. He wants his teams to feel comfortable taking calculated risks, sharing bold ideas, and learning from failure. He reminds them that some of the greatest technological breakthroughs have come from moments of uncertainty and experimentation. By framing challenges as opportunities for growth and innovation, he aims to shift the focus from fear of failure to excitement about discovery. The team initially relied heavily on datasets that, in hindsight, were incomplete and lacked the nuance needed to reflect the lived experiences of these populations truly. The project missed key cultural, social, and structural factors that couldn’t be captured in numbers alone. As a result, their initial recommendations, though well-intentioned, failed to resonate with stakeholders on the ground. It was humbling to realize that despite all the technology and expertise they had brought, they had missed the mark by not engaging directly with the people they wanted to help. At the same time, it’s crucial to anchor innovation in purpose. Microsoft’s mission to empower every person and organization provides a powerful guiding star. He encourages his teams to think about what they can build, why they are building it, and who it will serve. This alignment with purpose ensures that their innovations are technically impressive but also meaningful and impactful. Whether designing tools that bridge accessibility gaps or creating platforms that enable communities to thrive, the goal is always to use technology as a force for good. The lessons from that experience have stayed with him. First, he learned the importance of humility and listening—of recognizing that data is only part of the story and that the people behind the numbers must always be at the center of any solution. Ultimately, he believes inspiration comes from example. He strives to embody the curiosity, resilience, and commitment to the impact that he asks of his teams. By staying open to new ideas, celebrating diverse perspectives, and remaining steadfast in their shared vision, he hopes to ignite a sense of possibility that drives them to meet expectations and redefine them. Innovation, after all, is not just about what’s next—it’s about what’s better, and together, they can shape a future that empowers everyone. Second, it underscored the value of collaboration and co- creation. In subsequent projects, he has prioritized working closely with communities and diverse stakeholders from the outset, ensuring their voices inform every stage of the process. Finally, that failure taught him resilience and the importance of iteration. Innovation rarely happens in a straight line, and setbacks are often the catalysts for the most meaningful breakthroughs. By embracing these moments as opportunities to learn and grow, he has been able to turn challenges into stepping stones for a more significant impact. It’s a mindset he carries with him in every endeavor, knowing that the path to meaningful change is rarely easy but always worth it.

Creating a Culture of Psychological Safety Guided by a Mission of Empowerment Microsoft’s mission to empower every person and organization on the planet is not just a statement—it’s a compass that guides Dr. Tyrone’s decisions and actions daily. For him, ensuring that this mission resonates in his work begins with clarity of purpose. Every project, every decision, and every conversation is an opportunity to ask,
“How does this contribute to creating a more inclusive, equitable, and empowered world?” This intentional alignment with the mission shapes his priorities, especially when faced with tough technological decisions. Dr. Tyrone remains deeply involved in mentorship outside of Microsoft through personal and professional networks, speaking engagements, workshops, and advisory roles. He has been privileged to mentor entrepreneurs, students, and professionals from diverse backgrounds, helping them align their passions with meaningful opportunities. In practice, this means grounding decisions in empathy and impact. He makes it a point to understand the real-world challenges and opportunities people and organizations face. Whether it’s through direct engagement with stakeholders, analyzing data, or exploring emerging trends, his focus is always on how technology can address unmet needs and unlock potential. This approach ensures that even the most intricate decisions are guided by how they can serve others effectively and responsibly. His advice is twofold for young professionals seeking to follow a similar path. First, “Cultivate a mindset of curiosity and resilience. The journey is rarely linear, and setbacks are inevitable, but each experience—success or failure—is an opportunity to learn and grow. Be open to exploring new ideas, industries, and perspectives. The more diverse your experiences, the richer your toolkit for problem-solving and innovation.” He leans on a commitment to ethical and inclusive innovation when tough trade-offs arise- and they often do. For example, if a decision involves choosing between speed of implementation and ensuring accessibility, he will always prioritize the latter. Empowerment means creating solutions for everyone, not just a privileged few. These moments require courage and clarity, but they are also where the mission becomes most real and tangible. Second, “Focus on building authentic relationships. Success is rarely achieved in isolation, and the connections you make can become invaluable sources of support, inspiration, and collaboration. Seek mentors who challenge you to think bigger and act boldly, and don’t be afraid to ask for guidance. At the same time, pay it forward by sharing what you’ve learned with others.” Mentorship is a cycle; as much as he has given, he has gained so much in return from the insights and energy of those he has had the honor to mentor. Ultimately, he believes the mission is not achieved in one grand gesture—it’s embodied in the small, everyday decisions made. By staying rooted in purpose and consistently reflecting on the “why” behind the “what,” he strives to ensure that his work not only advances Microsoft’s vision but also leaves a positive, lasting impact on the world. Empowerment is both a destination and a journey, and he is deeply honored to contribute to that journey through his role. Above all, remember that “Your career is not just about what you achieve but about the impact you create. By staying true to your values, continuously learning, and lifting others as you climb, you’ll carve your path and inspire and empower others to do the same.” Success, for Dr. Tyrone, has never been about titles, accolades, or financial outcomes—it’s about impact, growth, and purpose. It’s about asking himself, “Have I made a meaningful difference today?” Whether in the corporate or entrepreneurial worlds, he defines success by the lives he has touched, the challenges he has helped solve, and the opportunities he has created for others. Success is about leaving the world better than he found and empowering others to do the same. Advice for Young Professionals Mentorship has been one of the most rewarding aspects of Dr. Tyrone’s career, and he considers it both a privilege and a responsibility. Whether within Microsoft or beyond, his approach to mentorship is rooted in the belief that everyone has a unique journey. His role is to help guide, support, and challenge others as they steer their path. He strives to be the kind of mentor who shares insights and asks thoughtful questions that encourage reflection and growth. Collaboration and Integrity in Achievement At Microsoft, he mentors by creating spaces where people feel valued, heard, and empowered to take ownership of their development. This often involves one-on-one conversations exploring technical skills, career strategies, personal goals, and aspirations. He encourages mentees to think about their purpose—what drives them and what legacy they want to leave. Milestones throughout his career have shaped his perspective on achievement, but the moments that resonate most deeply are those where purpose and passion intersect. Founding initiatives like The Data-Driven Institute allowed Dr. Tyrone to see the power of data as a tool and a catalyst for positive change. Similarly, working with underserved
