I feel like Mozilla is well-positioned to meet Troy's requirements. It won't be cheap for them, but I think their branding is much more in line with his goals than the large FAANG tech companies.
It makes sense to tie it into the Firefox Account password manager too. Mozilla could leverage Troy's close connections with industry to have Firefox as the recommended secure & open-source option for enterprise clients.
Something that hasn't been touched on as much is the limitations that come with contracts for large commercial companies. Side projects are often expressly forbidden. Yes, Google with give you 20% time to work on your own ideas, but you can't then upload it to your personal website and call it your own - it becomes company property and may never see the light of day. I imagine that Mozilla are more open-minded in that respect. They also have plenty of experience with remote teams, which would work well for his family/travel tradeoffs.
Please, Mozilla - if this opportunity is offered to you, take it.
Microsoft Regional Director don't work for Microsoft. If that's what you are referring to. They are recognized by Microsoft based on one's expertise & skills.
No, this shouldn't be used to segregate browsers. You just end up cutting a tonne of people of from the benefit unless the subscribe to the "we're sending all your DNS calls to third-parties and installing plugins you can't remove to advertise stuff you don't want"-browser.
