Annahita Esmailzadeh is the Head of Customer Success Account Management—energy and chemicals at Microsoft, a Business Influencer, and a bestselling author. We are honored that she will enrich our opening as a speaker at our Ultimate Demo Day on December 10. In an interview, she talked about her motivation for supporting the event.

Why are start-ups more important than ever, in your opinion?

Start-ups have always been the lifeblood of innovation, but in today’s rapidly changing world, they are more crucial than ever. They embody agility, creativity, and the ability to challenge established norms—all essential qualities in addressing the complex challenges of our time. Whether it’s tackling climate change, redefining healthcare, or driving digital transformation, start-ups are often the first to bring disruptive ideas to life. Their fresh perspectives and bold approaches fuel not only technological advancements but also economic growth and societal progress.

Why should people come to Ultimate Demo Day?

It’s a unique opportunity to connect with forward-thinking minds, gain insights into emerging trends, and perhaps even be part of shaping the next big breakthrough.

Why is it important for you to support the event?

Supporting this event is personal for me because I deeply believe in the transformative power of innovation and entrepreneurship. Start-ups represent hope, resilience, and the courage to envision a better future. By being here, I want to amplify their voices, champion their ideas, and contribute to creating an ecosystem where great ideas can thrive. Events like Ultimate Demo Day are critical in building bridges between visionaries, investors, and changemakers—and I’m proud to be part of a platform that inspires and enables progress.

Thank you very much for the interview!
