In his first public appearance since handing over Microsoft’s reins to incumbent CEO Satya Nadella, MBA dropout Steve Ballmer spoke to a packed house yesterday at Oxford University’s Saïd Business School.
Enthusiastic as ever, the exec chugged Diet Coke, bellowed cheerfully until he was red in the facial skin and sometimes bounded out of his seat for emphasis.
He looked unflinchingly back upon his 14 years as Microsoft’s leader, discussing what he could did differently while propounding career advice for aspiring entrepreneurs.
