Robbie joined Microsoft in 1988. Over the next twenty-two years, he worked in marketing and business management roles, supporting the successful product launch and expansion of Microsoft Office and other products. As Chief Xbox Officer, he led the creation and development of the Xbox business, including the launch of the Xbox and its highly popular successor, Xbox 360, as well as the Xbox Live gaming platform. Then, as Microsoft’s President of the Entertainment and Devices Division, he was responsible for the company’s worldwide gaming, music, video, phone and retail sales businesses until he retired from Microsoft in 2010.
Currently, Robbie works with corporate, philanthropic, and civic organizations to help build the resilient, creative cultures that drive successful enterprises and positive change in our communities. He guest-lectures extensively at a variety of colleges and universities and speaks to corporate, civic, nonprofit, and trade association audiences across the country.
In 2015, he published his first book, Xbox Revisited: A Game Plan for Corporate and Civic Renewal, outlining the use of the 3P strategic framework. In 2021, he published his first novel, The Wilkes Insurrection, a nail-biting thriller that one early reviewer praised for its “compelling characters, dark web intrigue, and wonderfully twisted plot.”
Bach serves as a board member for the augmented reality company Magic Leap. He also chairs the board of the Bipartisan Policy Center and serves on the national board of governors for Boys and Girls Clubs of America. He previously served as a board member of the U.S. Olympic and Paralympic Committee, Sonos, Inc., Brooks Running Company, the Space Needle, Inc., and Year Up Puget Sound.

Robbie was an Arjay Miller Scholar at the Stanford Graduate School of Business, where he earned his MBA, and a Morehead Scholar at the University of North Carolina, where he earned a degree in economics and was named an Academic All-American on the Tar Heel’s tennis team.
He and his wife, Pauline, reside in Medina, Washington, with their yellow lab, Roscoe. They have three grown children and one grandchild. He loves Peanut M&Ms, upholding heroic ideals, and those motivated to save the world —although not necessarily in that order.
