The agency Reuters relies on yet another anonymous source that confirms the news he had previously reported Bloomberg, according to the Indian Satya Nadella who for the last three years has been leading the cloud computing department, with service 22 years in the company will be crowned CEO of Microsoft.
47 today's Nadella started his career at Sun Microsystems and from 1992 he switched to Microsoft, where he quickly climbed into leading roles in Office and Bing. From 2011 he is the head of the Cloud and Enterprise division.
Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer unexpectedly announced on August 23, 2013 that he would be stepping down from the company within the next twelve months - a movement which ends a 13-year chapter for the biggest software company, but it lost the race in the new market of mobile devices. The search for his successor has dragged on for more than five months and several names of top executives have reportedly been floated, with Ford Motor CEO Alan Mulally thought to be the most prominent.
Microsoft's investors are said to be looking for a radical restructuring of Microsoft, considering at the same time that only a person from the market, other than Microsoft, could apply it.
Indeed, it sounds that along with the new CEO, there will be another "release from the past" with Bill Gates being relieved of his duties as chairman of the company.
