SAN FRANCISCO — Microsoft's search for the heir to CEO Steve Ballmer, a
process that dragged for months and touched off the biggest parlor game in
tech of Name That CEO, has finally come to and end with an insider selection.
The software behemoth tapped Satya Nadella as CEO, elevated John Thomson to
chairman and shifted Bill Gates into a role as technology advisor.
But who is incoming-Microsoft chief Nadella?
Microsoft's veteran executive — he's been with the software giant for more
than two decades — had been running its enterprise and cloud businesses.
"His vision for how technology will be used and experienced around the world
is exactly what Microsoft needs as the company enters its next chapter of
expanded product innovation and growth," said Gates in prepared remarks.
Nadella, 46, drove the server and tools business growth until 2013 and led
as onetime Bing boss. Analysts says his engineering strength bodes well
inside Microsoft.

"He's well-respected and thought of as a strong leader -- i don't know if he
's thought of as visionary," says reDesign analyst Rocky Agrawal, a former
Microsoft employee.
Dan Ives, tech industry analyst at FBR Capital Markets, says shareholders
who preferred fresh blood will be disappointed."The main issue around
Microsoft is its need for innovation and a set of fresh new strategies to
drive the next leg of growth," says Ives.
Still, he's gained a lot of clout inside the Redmond, Wash.-based software
giant for his part in Microsoft's move to the cloud.
"He's recognized for the transition to the cloud," says IDC analyst Al Hilwa
. "He's been spearheading this transition to the cloud, which is one of the
things that's going right for the company. They have been going toe-to-toe
with Amazon on features and price -- he gets a lot of respect for that."
Nadella should get the respect and intellectual buy-in from longtime
employees on day one, says Wes Miller, analyst at independent research firm
Directions on Microsoft.
"The time frame required for an external hire to come on-line and really be
effective is incredibly lengthy," Miller says. "Microsoft needs leadership
that can hit the ground running, rather than hiring someone who has to make
brute force guesses to appease the critics outside of Microsoft."
But can he redirect Microsoft to a good position in mobile to gain favor
among consumers?
"He gets credit for being transformative in his thinking. He has injected
much-needed agility into the company," says Hilwa. | G***o
