一個負責幫助微軟-t公司（納斯達克:MSFT）推出Xbox遊戲主機和Zune媒體播放器的人，在多年幫助打造這家科技巨頭的遊戲部門之後，有了新的工作地點。

發生了什麼: 雖然對許多人來說，J Allard可能不是一個家喻戶曉的名字，但他負責近年來爲微軟創建了多款產品，包括Xbox主機以及公司遊戲部門的幾個關鍵部分。
Allard joined Amazon.com Inc (NASDAQ:AMZN) last month. Since then, he's been quietly working on "new ideas" for the e-commerce company, according to The Verge.
Allard上個月加入了亞馬遜公司（納斯達克:AMZN）。此後，據The Verge報道，他一直在悄悄爲這家電子商務公司開發"新點子"。
According to the report, Allard is the Vice President of Amazon's devices and services team. Allard confirmed his job title but says it's "too early to have anything to say" about what he'll be doing.

Why It's Important: Allard left Microsoft in 2010 after 20 years at the company. Among the items that Allard was responsible for during his time at Microsoft was cofounding the Xbox division. He developed the Xbox 360 console and launched the Xbox Live network.
爲什麼重要: Allard在2010年離開微軟，在公司工作了20年。在他在微軟的時間裏，他負責的項目之一是共同創立Xbox部門。他開發了Xbox 360主機並推出了Xbox Live網絡。
Outside of gaming, Allard also helped develop the Zune, which was meant to be Microsoft's answer to Apple's iPod.
除了遊戲之外，Allard還幫助開發了Zune，Zune原本是微軟對蘋果iPod的回應。
Allard also helped work on the Courier tablet for Microsoft, which was never officially announced as a company product.
Allard還參與了微軟的Courier平板電腦的開發，該產品從未正式宣佈爲公司產品。
After leaving Microsoft, Allard has been running Project 529, a community service organization. After Two Three Bird's acquisition of Project 529, Allard may have been looking to get back into the technology sector.
離開微軟後，阿拉德一直在運營社區服務機構Project 529。在Two Three Bird收購Project 529後，阿拉德可能一直想重返科技板塊。
With a new position at Amazon, it's likely that Allard is being put to work to design and work on new products and developments.
在亞馬遜的新職位上，很可能阿拉德正被安排設計和開發新產品。
While he's not on the Amazon Gaming team, the e-commerce company has been expanding this business line. It will be interesting to see if Allard ever supports the company's gaming division given his Xbox success.
雖然他不在亞馬遜的arvr遊戲團隊，但這家電子商務公司一直在擴大這一業務線。看到阿拉德是否會支持該公司的arvr遊戲部門，考慮到他在Xbox上的成功，這將會很有趣。
