Asha Sharma

Type: Person (executive) Current Role: CEO, Microsoft Gaming (February 2026-present) Domain: Entertainment (gaming), AI

Background

  • Former executive at Instacart and Meta
  • Previously led Microsoft Copilot development
  • Comes from Microsoft's AI division

Strategic Position

Sharma's appointment is notable because she is an AI expert making explicit commitments against AI-replacing-human-creativity, not an AI skeptic. Her February 2026 pledge to avoid "soulless AI slop" represents an AI division leader's assessment that AI cannot replace the authenticity and intentionality of human-created games.
