This will enable us to focus our brand strategy, our product roadmap, our models, and our core infrastructure, as one, to deliver the best experiences possible for all our users.”
Lamanna, Clarke, Roslansky, who is also CEO of LinkedIn, and Pavan Davuluri, were named last week as members of a new executive team that will replace the retiring Rajesh Jha, EVP for experiences and devices, which includes Microsoft 365 and Windows.
Jason Andersen, VP and principal analyst at Moor Insights & Strategy described the moves as sensible: “Overall, it’s a sign of a maturing AI marketplace. There’s a big opportunity for Microsoft to leverage its historic value proposition into a new type of AI-driven user platform,” he said.
