Giving forward with Charles Stevens - a podcast by Microsoft Alumni Network

Charles Stevens spent 22 years at Microsoft as a corporate vice president from 1984 to 2006. Now, he’s focused on what he calls “giving forward.” Charles sits on the boards of multiple nonprofits including Seattle Children’s and United Way of King County. In this episode of our Beyond the Blue Badge podcast, host Eddie Pate — who was hired by Charles at Microsoft — talks with his former colleague about leading diversity initiatives, lessons learned over the past two decades, and the systemic racism that guides many sectors in the U.S. including business, education, and healthcare.
