Microsoft said to reshuffle management
Print Edition
In the biggest management reshuffle at Microsoft Corp since Satya Nadella took over as its chief executive, two top executives, Tony Bates and Tami Reller, will leave the company while a former Clinton family aide will become its chief strategy officer, media reports say.
Mark Penn, who will become chief strategy officer, will get a bigger hand in determining which markets Microsoft should be in and where it should be making further investments, the New York Times reported, citing a person briefed on the change.
Penn was an executive vice president at Microsoft for advertising and strategy.
Bates, the former Skype CEO in charge of Microsoft’s business development, will leave immediately, technology news site Re/code reported on Sunday citing unnamed sources.
Bates, who has also worked at Cisco Systems Inc, was seen as one of the potential CEO candidates to succeed Steve Ballmer, who said in August he would retire.
Eric Rudder, head of advanced strategy, will temporarily take up Bates’ duties and marketing executive Chris Capossela will replace Reller, the report said. Reller, one of the top female executives at Microsoft and co-head of its Windows unit, will remain with the company for some time to help with the transition.
