My story

Helping the next generation of Leaders get a head start.

I’ve always believed our role as leaders is to create other leaders.

Over three decades at Microsoft and Red Hat, including roles as CTO and VP, I’ve learnt from the people I’ve led, the mistakes I’ve made and the leaders who challenged me to grow.

I created You’re the Leader. So Now What? to share those lessons and help first-time and aspiring managers find their feet, build confidence and bring out the best in their people.

In their words

Proven at thehighest levels.

Stefan Thomke
Having observed Vajira during the Harvard Business School General Management Program, I was struck by his ability to pair sharp strategic thinking with a genuine care for people. He embodies the kind of leadership that builds both trust and results, the kind that matters most in an era where humans and AI increasingly work side by side.
