Man, that is a meanspirited thing to say. Are you this way in real life? Someone disagrees with your audio views and you get personal this way?
That aside, I am sure there are executives or managers with better credentials and notoriety than me. I am however, proud of the accomplishments of my teams and my personal contributions to many of them. Here are some examples:
1. Technologies developed in my team ship in billions of devices a year. Not millions but billions. Every few weeks I run into specs of a device that has technology from my team in all manner of products and software.
2. Our video technology is mandatory in Blu-ray format and was responsible for advancement of competing standards to catch up to same. Without our involvement, Blu-ray format would have only supported the ancient but expensive (see below) MPEG-2 video codec.
3. We worked hard to make the cost of your AV products lower. While royalties for MPEG-2 video codec was $2.50 per device with no cap, we pushed and achieved cost of less than 50 cents with caps for advanced codecs such as H.264.
4. Speaker of H.264 and other ITU/MPEG standards, we chaired the development of them at those organizations.
5. I came to Microsoft as part of an acquisition of our start up where we significantly innovated in delivery of video on the Internet. We managed to do this by inventing such as schemes as MBR: multibitrate Audio/video. Every video you watch on the web today uses the same scheme as you see the quality go up and down based on your connection speed.
6. Technologies developed by my team have been recognized by no less than three Emmy awards. The first two predate the Internet as we know it today but the last one is well documented (for advancements in delivery of video on the Internet). Here is a picture of me holding the statue:

Sorry Amir. You helped me prove my point by providing more details!
Am I like this in real life? Sometimes. Not always!
All of that would have still been possible without you leading it, or your team.
