    this is the new Xbox / Microsoft Gaming leadership team.  If you look closely, you'll notice that there will be more women than men in the gaming leadership team at Microsoft once Activision Blizzard CEO Bobby Kotick departs.  Full details here: https://www.theverge.com/...

    Today, Microsoft announced that we're promoting Takeshi Numoto to Chief Marketing Officer, we're promoting Yusuf Mehdi to Consumer Chief Marketing Officer and adding Yusuf to the Senior Leadership Team, and that I'll be leaving Microsoft.

    The opportunity to spend so many years at Microsoft, work with Satya as CEO, and turn the company into a Cloud and AI powerhouse is an amazing gift that I don't take for granted.
  • @chriscapossela Chris Capossela on x
    I couldn't be happier for Takeshi and Yusuf, and I'm so grateful for my own 32 years of working at this wonderful company. I've been shaped by the amazing Microsoft employees, customers, and partners with whom I've had the privilege to work with and learn from.
