New Leadership: Microsoft’s Office and LinkedIn Chief Takes Helm of Teams in Major Restructuring

Microsoft underwent a significant leadership reshuffle recently, with Ryan Roslansky, the Chief of LinkedIn, taking on additional responsibilities as the head of Office and now leading a new Work Experiences Group at Microsoft. The Microsoft Teams organization will now report to Roslansky, marking a shift in the company’s organizational structure.

The changes were initiated following the retirement of Rajesh Jha, the executive vice president of Microsoft’s experiences and devices group, after over 35 years with the company. This reshuffle also saw Charles Lamanna assuming more responsibilities, including leading the Copilot, Agents, and Platform (CAP) team, which oversees critical services like Microsoft 365 and Dynamics 365.

As part of the restructuring, veteran Microsoft executives Jeff Teper and Kirk Koenigsbauer will now report to Lamanna. Teper will serve as the executive vice president of apps and agents, while Koenigsbauer will take on the role of president of Data Platform and Growth.

Pavan Davuluri, Microsoft’s Surface and Windows chief, will continue to lead the Windows and Devices Group. Additionally, the Intentional team, acquired by Microsoft in 2017, will now fall under Davuluri’s leadership, with Microsoft technical fellow Charles Simonyi, the founder of Intentional Software, also joining the team.

Perry Clarke has been appointed as the Chief Technology Officer of Application Systems at Microsoft, focusing on the overall systems architecture across Microsoft 365 and Copilot. Clarke’s role will involve ensuring efficient integration with model families, Azure cloud, and silicon.

Furthermore, the new structure for Microsoft’s Experiences and Devices organization will see Lamanna, Davuluri, Clarke, and Roslansky reporting directly to Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella starting June 30th, following Jha’s departure from the company.

Microsoft’s recent shakeup coincides with the company offering long-serving employees the option of voluntary retirement. Eligible US employees with a combined age and years of service totaling 70 or more can participate in this program, with details set to be announced to employees soon.

Update, May 6th: Ryan Roslansky recently appointed a new CEO of LinkedIn, Daniel Shapero, who now reports to him.
