About Anna Kinney
A proven product and marketing executive, I translate customer insights into material growth, having scaled a start up from $250K ARR to a $25M ARR trajectory and cut \"idea to ship\" time by 75% using AI-driven rapid prototyping. My strengths include building high trust customer ecosystems and equipping stakeholders with data to transform business and yield value faster. Over 20 years at Microsoft, I held principal and senior director roles that combined product strategy and go to market, including driving Office 365 for Education from 200k to 20M active users, generating $90M in net new Visual Studio revenue, and improving SMB funnel performance by 78% through experimentation platforms and optimized customer experiences.
