This made him one of the most successful CEOs in Microsoft’s long-running history. Nadella’s predecessor in this role was John Thompson who was also CEO of Symantec. He made use of his 40 years of experience in the technology industry to help makeMicrosoftwhat it is today.
The decision of Nadella replacing Thompson came after an appraisal of the CEO with the proxy statement being filled last December, which clearly indicates that Nadella is mainly responsible for the rise in the revenue which went up by a solid 14 percent despite the Pandemic.
Nadella is one of Microsoft’s top individual shareholders with more than 1.6 million shares of the stock. Nadella has made a huge contribution in these past 7 years serving as the CEO, but with a new role comes new challenges and we are looking forward to him rising up to occasions and help the company achieve more and more.
