As the creator of Lotus Notes, the iconic corporate environment for online collaboration, as well as Microsoft’s former CTO and chief software architect and creator of Azure, Ray Ozzie has helped define the modern digital workplace. He has devoted his life since the 1970s to connecting people with computers and developing collaborative tools. On March 18, 2021, Ray was honored by CHM for a lifetime of work in collaborative software and software entrepreneurship. Inspired by his work, the event’s themes focused on “build” and “tech for collaboration.” During the backstage portion of the program, Microsoft Corporate VP of AI and Research Lili Cheng shared a few stories about her former colleague, Ray.
