It’s been a while since we talked about the Steve Ballmer and his retiring from Microsoft. In the last few months Microsoft has been conducting a search for a new CEO with a committee that includes Bill Gates. Reuters is reporting that the committee has narrowed the candidates down to four people, including three picks from our own list.
- Ford CEO Alan Mulally
- Former Nokia CEO Stephen Elop
- Microsoft cloud boss Satya Nadella
- Former Skype president Tony Bates
Alan Mulally is the only outsider on this list (Elop used to work at Microsoft). Reuters reports that the hiring process is still a few months away from being completed, and they are still interviewing more candidates. Our favorites include Mulally, who has been credited with reviving Ford, and Bates, who helped Skype become a powerhouse.
Who would you like to see from this list? Who would you like to see who is not on this list?
