He has contributed to the Server and Tools Enterprise which has seen 22 consecutive quarters of double digit growth. This experience is directly relevant to his leadership role in the OEM division.”Microsoft is not discussing currently who Guggenheimer;s successor will be, the spokeswoman mentioned.The OEM-chief spot at Microsoft carries a lot of weight. Guggenheimer;s predecessor Scott Di Valerio oversaw Microsoft’s relationships with makers of personal computers and other devices, multinational and regional OEMs and embedded systems manufacturersGuggenheimer is a 13-year Microsoft veteran who has completed everything from product marketing for Windows 95 and Internet Explorer, to consumer strategy marketing for MSN,Office 2007 Key, MSTV, etc. In his most recent role, he managed Microsoft;s application platform organization, including its overall strategy,Office 2007 Ultimate Key, SQL Server, Visual Studio, the .NEt Framework and BizTalk.Guggenheimer;s move is part with the company-wide reorg that Microsoft is finally expected to acknowledge next week. Executive reshufflings that Microsoft will position as part of that reorg have been leaking out over the past couple of months, including the expected departures of Corporate Vice President of Windows Marketing Chief Michael Sievert; Online Services Small business Senior Vice President Steve Berkowitz, among other moves.The top OEM-manager spot at Microsoft is one that;s been subject to a lot of turnover over the past several years.The longest reigning of Microsoft’s OEM chiefs was the controversial Joachim Kempin, who left his post in 2000. Richard Roy, head of Microsoft Germany, stepped in to fill Kempin’s shoes. Next, Richard Fade,Office 2007 Pro Key, the VP in cost of Microsoft’s desktop applications division, headed the OEM unit for a couple of years, during the tough DOJ sanction-negotiation period. Then, in July of 2002, Rodrigo Costa took the OEM reins. In 2005, Di Valerio took over, only to move to Lenovo in the fall of 2007.Some enterprise watchers have remarked on the fact that Microsoft may be hiring a number of outsiders, as of late, to take key management roles. Guggenheimer;s move doesn;t fit that pattern.
