LTC: Breakfast with Former President of Microsoft Kirill Tatarinov
8 May 2025
We were pleased to host an exclusive LTC members’ breakfast with our Advisory Board Member Kirill Tatarinov – former President of Microsoft Business Solutions, ex-CEO of Citrix, Executive Vice Chairman at Acronis, successful investor and board member at several cutting-edge tech companies.
With a track record of leading multi-billion-dollar businesses for over 30 years, Kirill shared insights on transforming global tech companies - from turning Microsoft’s Business Solutions division into a $2B cloud-first powerhouse, to revitalising Citrix’s strategy as CEO. His core message: aligning people, product, and purpose is key to driving meaningful change. He stressed the CEO’s role in shaping culture and vision, and the need for alignment across leadership.
​
Speaking about his investment approach, Kirill stressed the importance of fundamentals: without a standout product and clear value proposition, there’s no foundation for success.
​
A huge thank you to Kirill for his time and valuable insights, and to all who joined us for a thought-provoking and inspiring morning.
