Help WIB Add More to This Profile:
After reading that Carolyn Everson had been hired by Microsoft as chief of global ad sales (June 2010) I decided to write a profile about this high-powered business woman.

But Everson is somewhat of a mystery woman and tracking down information about her thoughts and life is difficult.
