Microsoft has made a significant leadership move by appointing Amy Coleman as the new Executive Vice President and Chief People Officer. A company veteran with over 25 years of experience, Coleman steps into this key role after serving as Corporate VP for Human Resources and Corporate Functions. Known for her impactful work on the hybrid work model of Microsoft and the COVID-19 response strategy, she is set to shape the future of the tech giant’s workforce.
She takes over from Kathleen Hogan, who served in the role for a decade and is now moving to a newly created position as EVP of Strategy and Transformation within the CEO’s office. Hogan will continue to report directly to CEO Satya Nadella.
With 228,000 employees globally, Microsoft’s people strategy plays a pivotal role in its success. Coleman’s extensive experience leading HR for engineering, sales, marketing, and business development teams makes her a strong fit for this transformative role.
This leadership change marks a new chapter for Microsoft as it continues to innovate in both technology and workplace culture.
