FollowSee All by Tom Warren is a senior correspondent and author of Notepad, who has been covering all things Microsoft, PC, and tech for over 20 years. Microsoft’s LinkedIn CEO, Ryan Roslansky, took on an expanded role at the company as head of Office last year, and he’s now getting more responsibilities as part of the latest leadership reshuffle inside Microsoft.

Sources tell me that the Microsoft Teams organization is moving to report to Roslansky, who will now lead a new Work Experiences Group at Microsoft. The changes are part of a broader reshuffle triggered by Rajesh Jha, executive vice president of Microsoft’s experiences and devices group, retiring from Microsoft after more than 35 years. Jha was responsible for the teams behind Windows, Office, Copilot, and Microsoft 365, and Microsoft has been trying to divide up his responsibilities ever since his retirement announcement in March.

Charles Lamanna, who has risen quickly through the ranks at Microsoft, is also taking on more responsibilities, according to an internal memo seen by The Verge. Lamanna will lead the Copilot, Agents, and Platform (CAP) team inside Microsoft, which includes critical Microsoft 365 and Dynamics 365 services, BizChat, and more. The Microsoft 365 Core team, OneDrive and SharePoint (ODSP), and Data Platform and Growth (DPG) are also joining Lamanna’s team.

Industry Implications

This will also see veteran Microsoft executives Jeff Teper and Kirk Koenigsbauer move to report to Lamanna. Teper will be executive vice president of apps and agents, while Koenigsbauer is president of Data Platform and Growth.
