The Tech Hulk
Microsoft is in the saddle to name Indian-born Satya Nadella as new Chief
Executive Officer, crowning the couple of months search for present CEO Steve
Ballmer’s stand in. Currently, He is the executive vice president of
Microsoft’s Cloud and Enterprise group, responsible for building and running
the company’s computing platforms and cloud services.
Nadella’s father
was an Indian Administrative Service officer, B.N.Yugandhar, who was a member
of the Planning Commission under Prime Minister Manmohan Singh.
He got his Bachelor’s degree from the Manipal
University, Karnataka. After moving to US, he earned his master’s in Computer
Science from the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee and a Master of Business
Administration from the University of Chicago Booth School Of Business.
Nadella has
played vital role in bringing some of Microsoft’s most popular technologies,
like its database, Windows server and developer tools, to the cloud, called
Azure.
Nadella also
helped Microsoft bring a cloud version of Microsoft Office to the cloud, Office
365. Microsoft says Office 365 one of its fastest growing products ever. Nadella, if he
emerges as the chosen one, would be the only third CEO in Microsoft’s history
after Bill Gates and Steve Ballmer.
As president of
Microsoft’s server business, Nadella boosted revenue to $20.3 billion in the
fiscal year through June, up from $16.6 billion when he took over in 2011. That
unit became cloud and enterprise when Ballmer restored Microsoft’s structure in
July to focus the company on devices and services.
The Microsoft Hyderabad
development center campus is the corporation’s biggest facility outside the
U.S. and the first one in India. We cannot just neglect the role of Satya
Nadella, in this outstanding step of Microsoft in India.
He is well-regarded as an energetic, visionary
top-level executive. He also has an advantage as an insider, that he
completely understands Microsoft’s complex culture and layout, likely to be
aware of its weak points as well.
