Microsoft Corporation has finally selected a new chief executive officer who will replace Panos Panay, who abruptly resigned to join Amazon as the new head of its devices and services business last year. The Redmond, Washington-headquartered technology company, named Pavan Davuluri as the new CEO of its Windows and Surface units.
Davuluri’s Leadership Assignment
After Panay left the company, Microsoft separated Windows and Surface and placed each under the leadership of two different leaders. Davuluri was assigned to lead Surface silicon and device work in this setup, while Mikhail Parakhin took over Windows and web experiences.
The management structure was updated, and Davuluri will now lead Windows and Surface businesses. Parakhin is reportedly moving after deciding to explore new roles. CNBC noted that the latest shuffle comes after Mustafa Suleyman of Google DeepMind was named CEO of Microsoft’s AI unit.
Announcement from Microsoft
According to The Verge, Rajesh Jha, the company’s head of experiences and devices, released a memo for employees to inform everyone about the new Windows organization. In his note, which the publication viewed, Jha explained that the change will allow Microsoft to take an all-inclusive approach to building silicon, systems, experiences, and devices that extend to all clients of Windows and cloud in the era of artificial intelligence.
“Pavan Davuluri will lead this team and continue to report to me. Shilpa Ranganathan and Jeff Johnson and their teams will report directly to Pavan,” Rajesh Jha said in the memo. “The Windows team will continue to work closely with the Microsoft AI team on AI, silicon, and experiences. The Web Experiences team will report to Mustafa in the new Microsoft AI organization.”
He added that they are excited about the new Windows and Surface team as it will help Microsoft AI attain its goal of building world-class consumer AI services and products. “And I very much look forward to closely partnering with Mustafa and the team as we bring our AI products, including Copilot, to the breadth of our E+D products and services,” he said.
