北京时间2月4日晚间消息，微软公司宣布任命纳德拉(Satya Nadella)为CEO。
据华尔街日报中文网援引一知情人士的话称，作为一位46岁的印度移民兼微软内部人士
，纳德拉目前正在与微软就接替鲍尔默，成为新任首席执行长进行合同谈判。这位人士
表示，微软董事会将于下周初召开会议以批准纳德拉的合同。此外，如果公司联席创始
人兼董事长比尔·盖茨(Bill Gates)将在向纳德拉提供指导方面花费更多时间，则董事
会还需要考虑是否挑选一位新的董事长。由盖茨担任其顾问是纳德拉在合同谈判中提出
的一个要求。
报道称，与纳德拉共过事的人都说，他最大的优点在于和蔼可亲、善于合作的风格，这
在争论激烈且风气较为自负而闻名的微软内部独树一帜。纳德拉的性格特点与深厚的技
术背景或可以帮助他挽留住关键的工程师与程序员。在大规模管理层变动之后，这些工
程师与程序员往往会选择离开公司。
以下为微软公司公告全文：
Microsoft Board names Satya Nadella as CEO
Feb. 04, 2014
Bill Gates steps up to new role as Technology Advisor; John Thompson assumes
role as Chairman of Board of Directors.
REDMOND, Wash. — Feb. 4, 2014 — Microsoft Corp. today announced that its
Board of Directors has appointed Satya Nadella as Chief Executive Officer
and member of the Board of Directors effective immediately. Nadella
previously held the position of Executive Vice President of Microsoft’s
Cloud and Enterprise group.
“During this time of transformation, there is no better person to lead
Microsoft than Satya Nadella,” said Bill Gates, Microsoft’s Founder and
Member of the Board of Directors. “Satya is a proven leader with hard-core
engineering skills, business vision and the ability to bring people together
. His vision for how technology will be used and experienced around the
world is exactly what Microsoft needs as the company enters its next chapter
of expanded product innovation and growth.”
Since joining the company in 1992, Nadella has spearheaded major strategy
and technical shifts across the company’s portfolio of products and
services, most notably the company’s move to the cloud and the development
of one of the largest cloud infrastructures in the world supporting Bing,
Xbox, Office and other services. During his tenure overseeing Microsoft’s
Server and Tools Business, the division outperformed the market and took
share from competitors.
“Microsoft is one of those rare companies to have truly revolutionized the
world through technology, and I couldn’t be more honored to have been
chosen to lead the company,” Nadella said. “The opportunity ahead for
Microsoft is vast, but to seize it, we must focus clearly, move faster and
continue to transform. A big part of my job is to accelerate our ability to
bring innovative products to our customers more quickly.”
“Having worked with him for more than 20 years, I know that Satya is the
right leader at the right time for Microsoft,” said Steve Ballmer, who
announced on Aug. 23, 2013 that he would retire once a successor was named.
“I’ve had the distinct privilege of working with the most talented
employees and senior leadership team in the industry, and I know their
passion and hunger for greatness will only grow stronger under Satya’s
leadership.”
Microsoft also announced that Bill Gates, previously Chairman of the Board
of Directors, will assume a new role on the Board as Founder and Technology
Advisor, and will devote more time to the company, supporting Nadella in
shaping technology and product direction. John Thompson, lead independent
director for the Board of Directors, will assume the role of Chairman of the
Board of Directors and remain an independent director on the Board.
“Satya is clearly the best person to lead Microsoft, and he has the
unanimous support of our Board,” Thompson said. “The Board took the
thoughtful approach that our shareholders, customers, partners and employees
expected and deserved.”
With the addition of Nadella, Microsoft’s Board of Directors consists of
Ballmer; Dina Dublon, former Chief Financial Officer of JPMorgan Chase;
Gates; Maria M. Klawe, President of Harvey Mudd College; Stephen J. Luczo,
Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Seagate Technology PLC; David F.
Marquardt, General Partner at August Capital; Nadella; Charles H. Noski,
former Vice Chairman of Bank of America Corp.; Dr. Helmut Panke, former
Chairman of the Board of Management at BMW Bayerische Motoren Werke AG; and
Thompson, Chief Executive Officer of Virtual Instruments. Seven of the 10
board members are independent of Microsoft, which is consistent with the
requirement in the company’s governance guidelines that a substantial
majority be independent.
Founded in 1975, Microsoft (Nasdaq “MSFT”) is the worldwide leader in
software, services and solutions that help people and businesses realize
their full potential.
