Anne Taylor, who has served The National Federation of the Blind as its director of access technology for over 10 years, will join Microsoft as program manager in the trusted experience team as of May 26.
“The National Federation for the Blind’s expertise and feedback have been and will continue to be invaluable to me in understanding accessibility from both the technical and end user perspectives,” says Taylor. “I look forward to the challenge of using this knowledge to make Microsoft’s products the industry leaders in nonvisual accessibility.”
Mark Riccobono, president of the National Federation of the Blind, says. “Anne Taylor has transformed the desire of blind people to participate equally in technology development into meaningful action that has advanced accessibility. I am confident that her skill, passion, and deep connection to blind people all over the country will make a tremendous difference in moving Microsoft to a high standard of built-in accessibility across all of its products and services.”
