Alexander Gounares Biography :

As corporate vice president for Corporate Strategy at Microsoft, Alexander Gounares is responsible for helping set the overall strategic direction for the company. As part of this mandate, he and his team look for new areas of growth and new ways to improve the value of software to Microsoft’s customers.

Before taking this role, Gounares spent three years as the technology assistant to Bill Gates, Microsoft’s chairman, and he was also responsible for helping formulate and drive the technical strategy for the company. Gounares has been involved with many initiatives across the company, covering everything from search to workflow technologies to new Internet services such as Microsoft Virtual Earth and a number of yet-to-be announced products.

Since joining Microsoft in 1993 as a software developer, Gounares has worked on a variety of projects in a number of roles. Before he was Gates’ technical assistant, he worked on the Microsoft Tablet PC operating system as a development manager, architect, and acting general manager. During his work on Tablet PC, Gounares was responsible for leading the creation of Microsoft’s Tablet PC Platform, including the digital ink and digital pen technologies. He also ran the handwriting recognition research team, leading the creation of products resulting from Microsoft’s research in the field and helping set the company’s long-term research agenda for advanced handwriting recognition and digital ink analysis.

Before joining the Tablet PC group, Gounares spent several years as a development manager for next-generation Microsoft Office technologies. Earlier in his career at Microsoft, he was a developer for core platform technologies, and he helped ship Windows NT 3.5 and 3.51, Office 97, and Internet Explorer 4.0.

Before coming to Microsoft, Gounares worked at Los Alamos National Laboratory and several small companies, including a startup he launched. He holds a bachelor of science and engineering in computer science, cum laude, from Princeton University.
