There are still some moving parts in Microsoft’s senior leadership team one month after the company announced a major reorganization that included the departure of four executives — and new levels of influence given to others.
Jeff Teper, who was Microsoft’s corporate vice president of corporate strategy, announced on Twitter last week he now leads the company’s OneDrive and SharePoint teams. It’s a familiar role, as Teper led the group that first built SharePoint for its 2001 launch.
The move seems to be the latest to make room for Kurt DelBene, who was brought back to the executive team after retiring in 2013 to help the U.S. government fix the healthcare.gov website.
DelBene assumed a new title as executive vice president of corporate strategy and planning in April, and soon after Eric Rudder, executive vice president of advanced strategy, and Mark Penn, executive vice president of advertising and strategy, announced they would be leaving Microsoft.
David Treadwell, a longtime Microsoft executive who oversaw the Windows engineering team, is also on the move. He’s taking an unidentified role in the Cloud and Enterprise group, according to a report from ZDNet’s Mary Jo Foley.
In an email obtained by ZDNet, Treadwell told staff he was reluctant to leave the Windows team, but “when the CEO calls, well, you take that call.”
