This week, SFGN will premiere a new feature called OUTbiz, a monthly column profiling national LGBT business executives and industry leaders.  The first executive in the series is Megan Wallent, General Manager of the Server and Tools Division at Microsoft.  Wallent is transgender and has been with the organization since 1996.  See a preview of the story below:

Microsoft is a company that thrives on diversity and nobody exemplifies how diverse the corporation is other than 41 year-old executive Megan Wallent.  As the General Manager of the Server and Tools Division of the Redmond, WA – based firm, Wallent supervises a staff of 350 employees. And she is also transgender.
