Microsoft Moves: Longtime exec Julia Liuson to retire; new accessibility chief; and other changes
"Julia Liuson has been a significant figure at Microsoft, serving as president of the Developer Division since 2021, overseeing key services like Microsoft Azure and Visual Studio. Her departure marks the end of a notable 34-year career with the company, where she was the first woman to achieve the corporate vice president title in development."
"The company spokesperson emphasized that Liuson's departure was a 'thoughtful, planned decision' and expressed gratitude for her contributions, stating, 'We're focused on maintaining momentum as we head into the next fiscal year and beyond.'"
Julia Liuson, a Microsoft executive for over 34 years, is retiring in June. Neil Barnett has been appointed chief accessibility officer, and Nanda Ramachandran is the new chief marketing officer for Windows & Devices. These changes are part of a broader restructuring at Microsoft under CEO Satya Nadella, aimed at adapting to AI advancements. Liuson, who was the first woman promoted to corporate vice president at Microsoft, will transition to an advisory role after her retirement.
