A subsequent venture, Standard Software, was one of the earliest venture-capital-funded software companies in North America. In 1986, David joined a small software company called Microsoft, where he held various senior executive positions in his 23-year service. From 2001 to 2010, he served as Microsoft’s Chief Technical Officer, reporting directly to Bill Gates until Gates’ retirement in 2008. David founded Mylio in 2012.
