Hollis Heimbouch, the publisher, negotiated the acquisition of this project with James Levine, an agent from the Levine Greenberg Rostan Literary Agency. The release date has been scheduled for Fall 2017.

Nadella gave this statement in the press release: “This book is about change. It is not a ‘how to succeed’ book, nor is it a memoir—it’s premature for that. Ultimately, I am writing for Microsoft team members, customers, and partners in hopes that these stories of transformation will be useful to them as they navigate their own path.”
