Good morning all,
Microsoft has found a new CEO: Nadella it will be!
The saga that is Microsoft’s CEO search appears to be pushing Satya Nadella, the company’s enterprise and cloud leader, as a front runner to succeed Steve Ballmer.
According to Bloomberg and Re/Code Nadella is the front runner to take over as CEO. No one is citing named sources, but Microsoft did say it was expecting to name a new CEO early in 2014.
Microsoft won’t comment on the reports.
Leading Microsoft is apparently the job that no one is jumping for. Microsoft has looked at its own execs such as executive vice president Tony Bates and Kevin Turner, operating chief. The company also apparently wooed Ford CEO Alan Mulally as well as Qualcomm CEO on deck Steve Mollenkopf.
Congratulations Nadella with your new position and we wish you all the best!
Cheers.
