Microsoft’s LinkedIn chief is now running Office as part of an AI reorg
Microsoft's LinkedIn CEO, Ryan Roslansky, is taking on an expanded role at the software maker as the head of Office. Announced in an internal memo from Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella, the move is part of an AI shakeup that also sees Charles Lamanna and the business and industry Copilot (BIC) team move closer to the Microsoft 365 Copilot side of the company, reporting up to Rajesh Jha, Microsoft's head of experiences and devices.
Roslanksy will now lead the Office, Outlook, and the Microsoft 365 Copilot app teams in his role as executive vice president of Office, reporting to Rajesh Jha for his new Office job. He'll also still remain LinkedIn CEO and report directly to Satya Nadella as part of that role, and remain on Microsoft's senior leadership team.
"LinkedIn remains a top priority and will continue to operate as an independent subsidiary," says Nadella in his memo. "This move brings us closer to the original vision we laid out nine years ago with the LinkedIn acquisition: connecting the world's economic graph with the Microsoft Graph. And I look forward to how Ryan will bring his product ethos and leadership to entertainment and devices."
