Nate BoazNate Boaz navigates the realms of human potential and tech innovation as the Vice President of People Strategy at Microsoft, yet his odyssey began on a vastly different terrain. As a U.S. Naval Academy graduate, Nate served as a Counterintelligence /Human Intelligence Officer in the U.S. Marine Corps, participating in Operations Enduring Freedom and Iraqi Freedom. During two decades in the corporate realm, Nate found his narrative veering back to the profound lessons gleaned on the battlefield, channeling these insights into his writing. His journey led him through roles as a Partner at McKinsey & Company, a Senior Managing Director at Accenture, and a Managing Director at Roark Capital Private Equity Firm, before nestling into his current position at Microsoft. An alumnus of Harvard Business School, Nate's voracious pursuit of knowledge and personal growth remains unabated. Outside the corporate world, Nate's heart beats for veteran welfare and storytelling. He serves on the Board of Patrol Base Abbate, a veteran nonprofit dedicated to providing "a place for those who served." His proudest roles, however, are those of a father and a writer, continually exploring the tapestry of global affairs, leadership, and personal growth on his Medium blog.
