j***a 发帖数: 1100 | 1 When Microsoft MSFT +0.28% acquired LinkedIn LNKD +% for $26 billion, it
didn't just buy a professional network. It also bought top technical talent.
Microsoft announced on Tuesday that it has named LinkedIn's most senior
engineering executive Kevin Scott as Microsoft's CTO. Scott will join
Microsoft's senior leadership team and will report directly to Microsoft CEO
Satya Nadella. Scott will continue to hold a role within LinkedIn as senior
vice president of infrastructure and will remain on the company's executive
team.
As CTO, Scott will "drive strategic, cross-company initiatives to maximize
Microsoft's impact with members and customers," the company said. Before
joining LinkedIn, Scott worked at Google GOOGL +0.08% and AdMob and spent
time in academia.
"We are thrilled that Kevin will bring to Microsoft his unique expertise
developing platforms and services that empower people and organizations,"
Nadella said in a statement. "Kevin's first area of focus is to bring
together the world's leading professional network and professional cloud."
Microsoft's move is part of a broader pattern of the company giving top
LinkedIn leaders key roles in the post-merger transition. LinkedIn CEO Jeff
Weiner has also joined Microsoft's leadership team and is assuming the added
responsibility of leading the merger integration efforts, at the request of
Nadella. Weiner meets weekly with the transition team, which includes both
Microsoft and LinkedIn executives.
To give Weiner space for his post-acquisition position, his role as head of
product is being transferred to LinkedIn's Ryan Roslanky, who most recently
served as the company's global head of consumer product. Roslansky, a well-
liked manager within LinkedIn, will now serve as global head of all LinkedIn
products, including business services such as Recruiter and Sales Navigator
. Roslansky previously led LinkedIn's mobile app overhaul and will continue
to oversee LinkedIn's website and Lynda.com. Weiner will still be regularly
involved in product at LinkedIn moving forward, a spokesperson said.
To accommodate Scott's new role, LinkedIn is promoting Mohak Shroff to lead
engineering for LinkedIn products. Shroff joined LinkedIn about nine years
ago. Both Shroff and Roslansky are joining LinkedIn's executive team.
The acquisition officially closed late last year. The companies haven't
announced product integrations yet, but integrations are expected to be
announced throughout this year.
