Microsoft elevates LinkedIn CEO to head of Office in AI pivot

Roslansky will retain his role as head of LinkedIn, maintaining his seat on Microsoft’s senior leadership team while reporting to Rajesh Jha for his new duties. Nadella emphasized that the move aims to finally bridge the gap between the LinkedIn economic graph and the Microsoft Graph, a vision established nearly a decade ago.

This structural realignment brings Sumit Chauhan, Gaurav Sareen, and Jon Friedman’s UX team under Roslansky’s direct management. Simultaneously, Charles Lamanna and his business and industry Copilot team will move to report to Rajesh Jha. These changes signal a broader strategy to unify product development, ensuring that the company’s AI-driven tools remain tightly tethered to its core productivity suites and professional networking data.
