He has been with the corporation since 1992, ITAR-TASS reports citing Bloomberg business news agency.

In addition to Nadella, the former CEO of Nokia Stephen Elop, the head of Ford Alan Mulally, responsible for doing business at Microsoft Tony Bates, also claimed the post of Microsoft head. The selection of candidates was carried out by a special committee led by independent director John Thompson. The committee also included Bill Gates, chairman of the board of directors, Chuck Noski, chairman of the audit committee, and Steve Luzo, chairman of the pay committee. The search for candidates for the post of head of the corporation began after the current Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer announced the decision to resign.

In 2013, 2.07 times more money than in the same period in 2012, which means that Satya Nadella successfully manages her business and does not miss the opportunities offered by the market, for which she often scolded Steve Ballmer.

During this time, the annual revenue of the company grew from 632 million to 6.2 billion dollars, and the staff increased to 17.5 thousand employees around the world.

“John has incredible experience in technology and business, we are all very happy to join him,” said Bill Gates, chairman of the board of directors and founder of Microsoft.

Thompson became the tenth member of the Microsoft board of directors, which, in addition to him and Gates, includes Microsoft’s current CEO Steve Ballmer, founder and head of Netflix Inc.’s online video service. Reed Hastings, former chairman of the board of directors of BMW AG Helmut GW Panke and others.

Thus, Microsoft appoints at the head of the companies already established managers who have proven their competence in the matter of conducting business planning.
