Lovering is now vice president of development platform with the San Francisco-based company, which provides an enterprise IT data management system used by thousands of customers.
During his 24 years at Microsoft, Lovering rose to become one of the company’s elite Technical Fellows.

As noted, Brad was a techical fellow at Microsoft, an “acknowledgement of the key role a technical leader plays in driving intentional innovation”.
