Quote from: Nadella
"I don’t want to fall for the…’supply side’ excuse,’ he said to cheers from the audience, though he did acknowledge the pipeline of women interested in science and technology is not as big as the pool of men. ‘The real issue is to figure out how to get women into the organization, and especially, in our case, into our development.”
