Microsoft has solved the problem of the succession of Steve Ballmer as chief executive officer (CEO). The choice, advancing to Reuters (there is still no official statement), fell on the Indian Satya Nadella, who is currently responsible for the business and the products of cloud business.
Choosing Nadella, who works at Microsoft for 22 years and has been rising throughout this time, the hierarchical ladders company created by Bill Gates puts an end to the complicated process of succession of Steve Ballmer.
Last summer, Ballmer, Gates cooperating with the establishment of the company, announced he would step down within 12 months. Then began a process of candidate selection now ends with the indication Nadella. Spoke is the possibility of the new CEO Alan Mullaly be, president of Ford, but this recently stated that he was not available for transfer. Also there was talk of Stephen Elop, head of Nokia (now owned by Microsoft), which has been part of the technology company.
The choice ultimately rests with Satya Nadella, born in India in 1967, who began their studies in the home country and subsequently in the United States. With academic training focused on technology areas, Nadella also studied business management before starting his career at Sun Microsystems, will now be the second Indian to ascend to the executive leadership of one of the most important companies in the United States and the world, the Indra Nooyi par with the powerful CEO of Pepsi.
Bill Gates will join the starting Ballmer and also leave the post of non-executive chairman (chairman), being replaced by John Thompson, an independent manager who has good connections with Wall Street and what is seen as an excellent solution for analysts, since it will compensate for the lower Nadella dedication of the link with the shareholders and investors.
Microsoft, which will go to manufacture mobile phones Nokia, achieved a profit of 6560 million in the fourth quarter, beating analysts’ estimates.
