He has worked on all versions of Office for Apple platforms since he started at Microsoft in 1996. Thankfully, that excludes Mac Word 6. Erik’s current role includes driving broad technical and architectural improvements across all aspects of Office for Mac and iOS, as well as being the primary technical liaison between Microsoft and Apple. Having programmed for the Mac since 1991 on a Mac SE/30, Erik shudders in horror when he sees someone use the term “MAC” to refer to a Macintosh computer.
