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.” In a surprise appearance, exemplifying the power of collaborative tech in the arts and inspired by Ray Ozzie, musician and beatboxer Butterscotch created an original, live composition with help from the audience.
