Yusuf Mehdi‘s promotion to Executive Vice President and Consumer Chief Marketing Officer is a major development. He has been part of Microsoft since 1992 and played key roles in vital projects like Internet Explorer, Bing, and the HoloLens headset. CEO Satya Nadella said in the memo, “Yusuf will serve as the champion of our end-user experiences and build on his work launching several of our AI-powered services to lead Microsoft Copilot product marketing.”

Microsoft is in the process of merging its consumer sales organization into the Microsoft Gaming team. Ami Silverman will be taking the lead of this division. The objective here is to completely transform the sales strategy within the gaming sector and to draw in new audiences. This effort extends beyond gaming to encompass other consumer products, including Windows and Surface.

Following the organization’s restructure, it will be interesting to see where they go from here. Congratulations to Sarah Bond, Matt Booty and the entire Microsoft Marketing team.
