Microsoft top Office executive Rajesh Jha retiring after more than 35 years
Summary
Rajesh Jha, a top Microsoft executive who oversaw Office and has worked at the company for over 35 years, is retiring in July. His departure is significant because Microsoft is trying to integrate AI models from companies like OpenAI and Anthropic into products like 365 Copilot (an AI assistant add-on for Microsoft 365 business subscriptions), and his leadership will be split among four other executives reporting directly to CEO Satya Nadella.
