About Lan Ye
I am a product executive passionate about building transformative technologies that empower people to create, connect, and collaborate. At Microsoft, I’ve blazed new trails across both consumer and enterprise products - launching Zune music and video experiences, bringing Xbox Live gaming to mobile, and evolving Lync into Skype for Business. As Corporate Vice President of Microsoft Teams, I built the platform from the ground up, drove hyper-scale adoption during COVID, and grew it into a multi-billion-dollar business. Today, Teams stands at the forefront of Microsoft’s AI innovation, delivering industry-leading features like Intelligent Recap, Meeting Copilot, and AI Interpreter. I thrive at the intersection of vision and execution, leading high-performing cross-functional teams across the globe to deliver category-defining experiences with worldwide impact.
