About Joyce Lin

Finance by education, customer advocate by trade, and people first always! I thrive on new experiences and learning from others. I am a techie because I see technology as a tool to unlock things I value: time, freedom, connection, creativity. Microsoft\'s mission to empower every person on the planet to achieve more is close to my heart. As a daughter of immigrants, I can only imagine the opportunities my parents could have had if technologies like live translation were broadly available in the peak of their careers. As a Digital Natives evangelist, I\'m known for going the extra mile to put our customers and partners first, understand their business needs, and mobilize our Microsoft teams across engineering, GTM, and account management to build a strategic partnership. What I love most about working with startups is the passion founders bring. It is a special experience to be part of someone\'s success who is so deeply mission driven.
