Savage joined Microsoft Field Sales based in New York in 1993 and then relocated to Microsoft’s corporate headquarters in Redmond, Washington.

In 1997, when instant messaging was emerging as a teenage pastime, she lead a research and product development effort to understand how real time communications affect collaboration in the work environment and built supporting peer-to-peer technologies.
