Leaked Microsoft organizational chart shows the 16 executives helping Satya Nadella in the AI race (www.businessinsider.com)

A leaked organizational chart and internal memos reveal the 16 executives who report directly to CEO Satya Nadella, showing how Microsoft has reshuffled its top ranks to accelerate an all-in push on AI. The leak highlights new and expanded roles—such as Judson Althoff as commercial CEO, Carolina Dybeck Happe as COO, Jay Parikh heading a new CoreAI unit, Mustafa Suleyman running Microsoft AI (consumer Copilot/Bing), and Kevin Scott as CTO/EVP of AI and research—plus longtime leaders like Scott Guthrie (Cloud + AI), Amy Hood (CFO) and Brad Smith (vice chair, public affairs). Nadella’s reorg is explicitly meant to free engineering leadership to focus on datacenter buildout, systems architecture and AI science during what he calls a generational platform shift. Technically, the chart signals Microsoft’s priorities and resource commitments: record capex ($34.9B reported in the most recent quarter) for cloud and AI infrastructure, a $20B, 10,000-person cybersecurity organization, and new initiatives including CoreAI for developer-facing digital assistants, a superintelligence research team under Suleyman, and internal plans to overhaul GitHub to defend AI coding capabilities. The structure centralizes commercial go-to-market functions while concentrating AI research, productization, and massive infrastructure investment under a smaller set of technical leaders—mapping how Microsoft intends to compete across cloud, enterprise AI, consumer copilots, security, and next‑gen research.
