Amy Hood
- As CFO since 2013, Hood has seen Microsoft nip at Apple's heels in the race to become the largest publicly traded company by stock market value.
- Hood can be credited with much of Microsoft's recent boom; in the first five years after she became CFO, the company's stock surged nearly 300%.
- She's helped engineer over 57 deals while at Microsoft, including the 2018 $7.5 billion acquisition of software development platform GitHub.
- Hood strategically shifted money away from some of Microsoft's legacy divisions such as Windows to invest in their growing cloud computing division.
- Before becoming the company's first female CFO, Hood was the head of Microsoft's business division and previously worked at Goldman Sachs.
