After Bill Gate’s long-anticipated stepping down as Microsoft Chairman, one of Microsoft’s current board members, John Thompson is simultaneously taking on the role of Microsoft board chairman, while a new, third CEO is named for and by Microsoft – Satya Nadella, a Microsoft veteran of 22 years.
Mr. Gates will now focus on the charitable goals of the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, while Mr. Nadella has his work cut out for him at Microsoft.
On a lighter note. Mr. Nadella should go insane!
Pascal-Emmanuel Gobry, Forbes contributor, writer on technology, markets, and global strategic issues made a great to-do list for Mr. Nadella:
- Go Insane (Ha!)
- Complete The Shift To The Cloud
- Figure Out The Mobile Strategy
- Build Apple TV Before Apple Does (my personal “Go-Apple” opinion – that’s not going to happen…)
- Expand The PC Market.
- Build A Moon Rocket! (and this just might happen!)
For full details of this fabulous list, please refer to the original 6 Things Microsoft’s New CEO Satya Nadella Needs To Do Now (1: Go Insane!) – a very interesting read.
