About Aleenah Ansari
Writer and Video Producer at Microsoft
My name is Aleenah Ansari (she/her), and writing is my tool of choice. These days, I’m using it to tell the stories of people behind code and user interfaces and empower early-in-career professionals and entrepreneurs to amplify their work with confidence.
At Microsoft Inside Track, I create blogs and videos by interviewing experts who build, deploy, and manage the tools used by 165,000+ employees at Microsoft. My stories cover everything from the company’s underwater datacenter and the revamped security training to the Yammer community used by visa-dependent employees. This content inspires customers and enterprises to use our technology in their own organizations and learn more about how we built it.
As a queer Pakistani woman in tech, I believe you can’t be what you can’t see, which is why I highlight the stories of women of color, people with disabilities, and LGBTQIA+ folks in my writing. I also strive to lift as I climb, which is why I help early-in-career professionals and entrepreneurs feel more confident telling stories about their identity and work through 1:1 coaching, and I give talks about storytelling and personal branding.
Outside of work, you can find me growing my business as a writing consultant, turning my home into a photography studio, and mentoring BIPOC folks in media, tech, and business.
