Microsoft yesterday made an official
announcement, disclosing that its company veteran Satya Nadella is its
next chief executive Officer, a widely expected choice that also returns
co-founder Bill Gates to a high-profile role in helping the company
confront its challenges.
Mr. Gates, who had been serving as
chairman, will become a technology adviser and devote more time to the
company, supporting Mr. Nadella in shaping technology and product
direction, the company said. John Thompson, who was formerly the lead
director, will become chairman.
Mr. Nadella, who takes his new position
immediately, becomes the third CEO since the company was founded 39
years ago. Mr. Gates will however remain on the board of directors.
