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.
