The new head of Microsoft will be Satya Nadella

The new head of the computer corporation Microsoft will be Satya Nadella, an Indian-American, currently holding the position of executive vice president and head of the department of cloud and corporate services. He has been working in a corporation since 1992, ITAR-TASS reports, citing a Bloomberg business news agency.

In addition to Nadella, former CEO of Nokia Stephen Elop, Ford CEO Alan Malalli, responsible for doing business at Microsoft Tony Bates, claimed the post of head of Microsoft. Candidates were selected by a special committee headed by independent director John Thompson. The committee also included Chairman of the Board of Directors Bill Gates, Chairman of the Audit Committee Chuck Noski, Chairman of the Wage Committee Steve Luzzo. The search for candidates for the post of head of the corporation began after the current Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer announced his decision to resign.

It became known that Bill Gates will leave the post of chairman of the board of Microsoft, but will continue to actively participate in the life of the company. As expected, Gates will be replaced by John Thompson.

According to the financial report for the IV quarter. 2013 cloud services for corporate customers brought in the IV quarter. 2013, 2.07 times more money than in the same period of 2012. So, Satya Nadella means that she successfully manages her direction and does not miss the opportunities offered by the market, for which Steve Ballmer was often scolded.

As for John Thompson, Microsoft announced on February 22, 2012 that the former head of Symantec, John Thompson, joined the Microsoft board of directors. Thompson served as head of Symantec from 2001 to 2009. During this time, the company's annual revenue increased from 632 million to 6.2 billion dollars, and the staff increased to 17,500 employees worldwide.

“John has an incredible amount of experience in technology and business, we are all very excited to join us,” said Microsoft Board Chairman and Founder Bill Gates.

Thompson became the tenth member of the board of directors of Microsoft, which, in addition to him and Gates, includes the current CEO of Microsoft, Steve Ballmer, founder and head of the Internet video service Netflix Inc. Reed Hastings (Reed Hastings), former Chairman of the Board of Directors of BMW AG Helmut Panke (Helmut GW Panke) and others.

Thus, Microsoft assigns to the head of companies already established managers who have proven their competence in the matter of doing business planning.
