"Every head of state only cares about one thing: it's about their country first. In the US it's about America first, and in Britain it's about Britain first," he noted.
Nadella emphasised that companies must to be able to show the state heads and citizens what they have done for them "in terms of local taxes, in terms of local small business productivity, local large business competitiveness, their educational outcomes, their entrepreneurial work, that's what matters".
