As part of a global workforce cut down strategy, Microsoft recently fired Don Dodge, Microsoft’s “ambassador to startups” and a renowned industry specialists in assisting Startups to grow out of scratch. He was one of the pioneers of the Microsoft BizSpark program as well.
Today, as TechCrunch’s Micheal Arrington, posts that, he learnt from “reliable sources” that Dodge was hired by Google for the position of developer evangelism, the same position he worked for at Microsoft.
Consider this for a slap to Microsoft by Google, hiring the best talent from Microsoft, and may we add only in one interview, uncommon for the hiring process of Google.
He will now be avangilizing about Google Apps and most of his engergies and expereince going to get people “Go Google”
