Edward Wu, Program Manager, Development Team

I wanted to introduce myself as the one of the Program Managers working on Todd Wanke’s team, focused on solutions for Lotus Notes customers. While I may not have the most number of years at Microsoft (5+ years) compared to most of my colleagues, I do have experiences from other companies and markets that help me to analyze and address problems from a different perspective. Prior to Microsoft, I was Program manger at Motorola, working on several Windows CE projects. Before that, I was a product manager for a company developing embedded RF communication equipment. Which brings me to my humble beginning and my first job out of college: at IBM as an engineer working on mainframe storage systems, and as a field SE, working on mid-range solutions (e.g. AS400, RISC based solutions).

Since my early days working on mainframes, I’ve observed how organizations adopt new IT technologies, for both good and bad reasons. My new job is to make sure we continue to deliver the right set of solutions that customers are asking for, and to help them to implement and use the technology more easily. I know that there are many organizations working on these problems -- ultimately the winner will be the customer.

I look forward to sharing many additional thoughts, topics, technical information & hearing from you on any feedback that you may have.
