Microsoft ended 2010 on a high with the launch of Kinect that soon became the industry’s fastest selling gadget this holiday season. The new Windows Phone 7 also won rave consumer reviews.
An out-of-the-boxer thinker, Haresh Khoobchandani, Chief Marketing Officer, Consumer & Online Business, spearheaded a diverse range of new Microsoft initiatives. Partnering with Mediacorp in rolling out xinmsn.com earned Microsoft the accolade of being awarded the number 1 digital platform in Singapore.
