CEO pepsi also indian
Nadella
will replace Steve Ballmer effective immediately after a five-month
search, Microsoft said in a statement today. Bill Gates, the company’s
first CEO, will step aside as chairman and devote more time to product
development, while remaining on the board and running his philanthropic
foundation. John Thompson, the board member who led the CEO search,
becomes chairman.
The new CEO, who was born in India and joined
Microsoft in 1992, takes over at a critical juncture. Consumers and
businesses are shunning PCs in favor of handheld devices made by rivals,
sapping demand for Microsoft’s flagship products. Besides playing
catchup to the likes of Apple Inc. and Google Inc., Nadella will be
tasked with completing strategy changes, begun by Ballmer last year.
That includes integrating the $7.2 billion integration of Nokia Oyj’s
handset unit and turning Microsoft into a provider of services and
hardware.
“He’s really the complete package -- he has incredible
intellect but he also combines that with a deep curiosity and
willingness to learn,” said Doug Burgum, who sold business-software
developer Great Plains to Microsoft and oversaw Nadella while at the
Redmond, Washington-based company.
