Expertise
Ashmun Group specializes in developing end-to-end customer journeys, driven by careful planning and execution in business, experience, and technology (BXT). This includes a strategic approach that motivates insights research, experience prototyping, visual and industrial design, engineering, manufacturing, distribution, and sales. In Stuart’s most recent projects at Microsoft, he led a team of Strategists, Designers, and Human Factors Specialists. The team collaborated with brand, marketing, engineering, operations, and directed device design for Xbox, Surface Hub, HoloLens, and Microsoft Health.
Stuart previously served as General Manager for the Microsoft Hardware Group—which developed and marketed in PC peripherals—and the Windows Hardware Innovation Group—which collaborated with Dell, HP, Toshiba, Intel and Gateway to develop new usage models for PCs. In addition to creating the original Xbox hardware development team, he pioneered many of the current product development practices and leadership principles at Microsoft. Stuart moved on to work at Microsoft Surface (Table), where he led teams of hardware developers, software developers, and user experience designers to develop an end-to-end experience and interactive touch-based technology.
