Mr. Nadella provided an answer regarding his company's withdrawal from the mobile phone market. The Microsoft head believed that Windows Phone had a chance of success, but ultimately he made a wrong decision.

"The decision that I think is often mentioned and one of the most difficult I made as CEO was our abandonment of what I would call the mobile phone as defined at the time. Looking back, I think there could have been many ways we could have made it successful by reinventing the computing category between PCs, tablets, and phones," Nadella shared.

When Nadella took over Microsoft from Steve Ballmer, one of his first moves was to acquire Nokia's phone business for $7.6 billion. The company then went on to create Windows Phone, but just a few years after the acquisition, the company admitted that Windows Phone had failed.
