who was satya nadella to you and within the company?> i spent a lot of time working with him over the years. obviously my division, being very closely related to his own, spent a lot of time working through what are our relative plans. i think he is a good choice. he's that rare combination of very strong technologist as well as somebody who has a strong vision, focus, and business focus. i wouldn't think of him as someone who just focuses on the technology. it is about how we bring the technology to market and how we actually transform the business as a result. azure, driving the strategy for ford. andas a great track record has done a lot for the company. >> how did he get the job? , i'm not sure i am the person to ask. i think he is a natural person for the role. i read what you read in the press. it was a discussion of whether you want somebody internally or looking at strong candidates externally. great internal candidates and knows the business super well. he is on board with that. he has a very strong relationship with the other

they are looking to put in satya nadella.do not know whether the person who is leading the search will step into the chair role. >> let's talk about the potential board shakeup. what would gates leaving the chairman position mean, assuming he continues as a director, just not as the chairman? >> right. i think when our story came out, a lot of people wondered whether he would be that much more removed from the day-to-day activities of the company. one would think he could end up consulting on a variety of different product initiatives at microsoft. one area where he has continued to lend his time over the years is, to example, search. there is a possibility that a role without being the chair, maybe you get him sitting down with people like satya nadella, talking about the product initiatives, and be less caught up in what you have to do as a chairman. >> we will be watching through the weekend, through the super bowl. potentially looking for something on monday. i want to bring in paul, who nadella predicted satya would be b

nadella. what kind of executive is he? >> well, satya is a very passionate executive and is an external facing executive, so picking somebody inside microsoft who is so engaged with the customers and the technology trends out in the marketplace i think will serve them well. i have seen satya interacting with very early stage companies, he's come and spoke at our ceo summit. we had a number of dinner discussions over the years about major technology trends. i think that outward focus and bringing that in at that leadership seat of ceo within microsoft, and then having the task of inspiring innovation within microsoft so the company can be taken to the next level are the two things he will need to be focusing on. >> this is a company that is moving on from let me just say the sort of thomas jefferson and james madison era of leadership to another era, and that's different and that's tricky. is it going to be trickier for him with mr. gates on the board, with mr. balmer still on the board and in some way personally, very present still in th

satya nadella is in his mid-40's. let him run the show for the next 10 years and give him the support to do it. >> what about the big picture? >> they need a major transformation. balmer has been there too long. 14 years has been too much. the company has missed opportunity after opportunity in the i.t. space. it has relied very heavily on office and windows. in many ways, it is a classic innovator's dilemma. they are latched into the old world that is going away. they have not moved progressively to mobile. yes, facebook missed it, but they came back a year later very strong. it is going to take a major makeover -- five years, maybe 10. it is going to be a major change. the key is, does nadella have the support to make these major changes? to make the painful changes that will have to be done? maybe the investors won't like him. maybe they will have to take a short-term hit on the stock price. he is going to find himself one day with the space going away, starting to erode like ibm did. >> how far away are we from th

as we told you last week, he's satya nadella. now it's official. the new man in charge is an engineer, a microsoft insider, and a native of india. and he's only the third ceo in the company's 40-year history. stepping into a job held first by cofounder bill gates and later steve ballmer. both gates and ballmer will continue to serve on the microsoft board, and gates will become a technology adviser to nadella. but the critical question now, does all that shuffling chairs really mean a new chapter of innovation for microsoft or business as usual for the same old company? josh lipton reports. >> reporter: when we think about our product. >> reporter: after a six-month search, microsoft ultimately chose an insider as its new ceo. satya nadella is a veteran of the software giant. he's been working there for more than 22 years. most recently he was the v.p. of cloud and enterprise, a key segment for the company going forward. supporters of nadella say they was the best choice as his background will help maintain microsoft's momentum in the commercial si
