Investing.com -- Microsoft Corp (NASDAQ:MSFT). has announced a significant reorganization, with LinkedIn CEO Ryan Roslansky now overseeing the teams responsible for the development of email and productivity apps, according to Bloomberg. This move is part of Microsoft’s strategic plan to accelerate the implementation of artificial intelligence tools.

Roslansky has been at the helm of LinkedIn, the professional networking site, since 2020. His new responsibilities will include managing the teams behind Outlook, Word, Excel, and the rest of the Office suite. Microsoft made this announcement to its employees on Wednesday.

In his new role, Roslansky will report to Rajesh Jha, a leading engineering executive at Microsoft, whose organization encompasses Windows and business software. However, Roslansky will continue to report to Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella in his continued capacity as LinkedIn CEO.

According to Bloomberg, citing a Microsoft spokesperson, these changes do not indicate the end of LinkedIn’s relative independence, which it has maintained for nearly nine years as a subsidiary of Microsoft.
