Microsoft’s Office and LinkedIn chief now runs Teams in latest reshuffle

Microsoft is undergoing a major leadership reshuffle triggered by the retirement of Rajesh Jha, executive vice president of the experiences and devices group, after more than 35 years at the company. The changes consolidate several key organizations under two top executives. Ryan Roslansky, who previously oversaw LinkedIn and Microsoft Office, now adds the Microsoft Teams organization to his portfolio, leading a newly formed Work Experiences Group. This move expands Roslansky’s influence as he also recently appointed a new CEO for LinkedIn, Daniel Shapero, who reports up to him.

Separately, Charles Lamanna takes charge of the Copilot, Agents, and Platform (CAP) team, which includes critical Microsoft 365 and Dynamics 365 services, BizChat, and more. The Microsoft 365 Core team, OneDrive and SharePoint (ODSP), and Data Platform and Growth (DPG) also fall under Lamanna. Longtime executives Jeff Teper and Kirk Koenigsbauer will report to Lamanna, with Teper becoming EVP of apps and agents and Koenigsbauer as president of Data Platform and Growth. Perry Clarke, formerly running Microsoft 365 Core, steps into a new CTO role focused on systems architecture across M365 and Copilot. The reorganization also shifts the Intentional team—acquired in 2017 and founded by Microsoft technical fellow Charles Simonyi, creator of Excel and Word—under Surface and Windows chief Pavan Davuluri. All four leaders—Roslansky, Lamanna, Davuluri, and Clarke—will report directly to CEO Satya Nadella starting June 30th after Jha’s departure. Additionally, Microsoft is offering a voluntary retirement program to U.S. employees whose combined years of service and age total 70 or more, which could further reshape headcount in Windows and Office.
