It;s that time of 12 months: Just before the begin of Microsoft;s new fiscal 12 months (which commences on July 1). That signifies it;s time to play musical executive chairs.
On June 24, Microsoft announced the very first of what I;m betting will probably be numerous org-chart changers to occur over the following couple of weeks. Longtime Microsoft partner head, Corporate Vice President Allison Watson, is shifting more than to grow to be the head of Microsoft;s U.S. Small business & Marketing Organization (BMO). And the head of BMO, Corporate Vice President Jon Roskill, is taking Watson;s job, heading up Microsoft;s Worldwide Companion Group.
Microsoft is making the announcement about three weeks just before the kick off of its Worldwide Companion Conference — which is happening this yr in Washington,
Microsoft Office 2010 Professional, DC,
Microsoft Office Professional 2010, starting July 11. The WPC is where thousands of Microsoft resellers,
Microsoft Office 2007 Professional, systems integrators, OEMs,
Microsoft Office 2007 Professional, and ISVs, among others, convene annually to hear about the business;s sales and product strategies.
Roskill will report to Vahé Torossian, corporate vice president of the Worldwide Tiny and Midmarket Solutions & Partners (SMS&P) Group, who was recently appointed to that post. Watson,
Microsoft Office 2010 Professional Plus, who has headed the partner organization since 2002, will report to Robert Youngjohns, senior vice president of North America Sales & Marketing.
The pair both assume their new jobs starting July 1.
