Briefly

I quit a stable job at Microsoft at age 45 to try something new. I'm happy I took the risk and left on good terms.
"I worked at Microsoft for 23 years, holding many job titles, but when I left in 2018 to start my own company, I was the general manager of marketing and operations in Brazil. I met my now cofounder, Vadim Vladimirskiy, at the Microsoft Inspire conference. As we got to know each other, we realized we wanted to start a company together. In 2020, we cofounded Nerdio. A few months later, I relocated to Orlando."
"We specialize in simplifying cloud computing and IT automation for Microsoft customers. Even though I left Microsoft, they're still our closest partner, and I work with them every day. It's always a ton of fun to see how old colleagues have grown and taken on different challenges. I've learned many lessons since leaving as an employee. Here are three of them."
