Heartbreaking: Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella’s 26-year-old son dies
Zain Nadella was born with cerebral palsy
In a shocking development, the 26-year-old son of Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella died Monday, according to a company statement.
Zain Nadella was born with cerebral palsy.
The tech giant’s senior leadership was informed of Zain Nadella’s death by email.
According to the company email, Microsoft executives were asked to keep Satya Nadella's family in their thoughts and prayers while giving them space to grieve quietly.
The Microsoft CEO has focused the company on building products to better serve users with disabilities since taking over in 2014, citing lessons he learned while raising and supporting Zain.
