Satya Nadella's First Big Hire as Microsoft CEO Tells Why She Took the Job

Peggy Johnson, executive vice president of business development at Microsoft, appeared on "Bloomberg West" on Tuesday, and he shared his thoughts on Microsoft and its renewed openness to alliances.

One comment in particular stood out was the answer to why he joined Microsoft last year, after spending 24 years at Qualcomm, when it became the first major hire NADELLA since being appointed CEO.

"I had seen his progression and was curious as to his view. It looks so different," Johnson, Nadella said. "And out of nowhere, when I received a call to look at the role of business development manager, and got to know in person Satya. It 'an agent of this change and whatever you bought in, I took it and I moved to Seattle."

In fact, recruitment is in the news because NADELLA created his first position in Microsoft. And she's been nothing but impressive for its first 12 months of collaborative efforts Microsoft: her and struck agreements with Uber, Yahoo, Dropbox, and AOL.

"Satya recognizes the importance of working with partners, so I think we will continue to see reports perhaps surprising in the coming year," he said.It is no secret that Microsoft Satya Nadella has become a more beautiful and kinder after He was appointed CEO at the beginning of last year.

That image will be modified on full display Wednesday when an address is given in Dreamforce, the annual conference organized by Salesforce massive - the company that used to have one of the most controversial relationship with Microsoft in the pre-Nadella.

"Basically, we are here because we are good partners," added Johnson. "Of course it's areas of expertise, but we have many more areas of synergy, and that's what we are choosing to focus on our partnership with Salesforce."

Since early last year, Microsoft and Salesforce have actively sought partnership agreements, ranging from Salesforce for Outlook, much stronger integrations with SharePoint and onedrive, and a partnership with Power BI solution for analysis Data from Microsoft.

Nadella opening speech will begin at 17:00 am PST. Johnson said Nadella will focus on three areas: "the processes and reinvent business productivity, creating more personal computing experience, and the construction of intelligent cloud".
