I might be misunderstanding, but from Andrew's Linkedin it looks like he wasn't a security researcher at MS, he was actually the person responsible for translating between security researchers and the upper management:

> Evangelize security services, practices, products, both internally and externally.

> Leading technical conversations around strategy, policy and processes with FINSEC and DoD/IC executive staff.
