00:00:10.160 --> 00:00:13.439
<v Speaker 1>Secchiain, Adella has once again proven himself not just a

2
00:00:13.480 --> 00:00:17.000
<v Speaker 1>master strategist, but a hands on transformer at the helm

3
00:00:17.039 --> 00:00:21.239
<v Speaker 1>of Microsoft. In the latest and possibly most significant move

4
00:00:21.519 --> 00:00:26.000
<v Speaker 1>of his recent tenure, Medella announced a sweeping internal reorganization

5
00:00:26.120 --> 00:00:31.120
<v Speaker 1>on October first, giving veteran executive Judson Alfoff a newly

6
00:00:31.199 --> 00:00:36.159
<v Speaker 1>created rule as CEO of Microsoft's commercial business. While Medella

7
00:00:36.240 --> 00:00:41.640
<v Speaker 1>himself intensifies his focus on the company's AI ambitions, Microsoft's

8
00:00:41.640 --> 00:00:46.439
<v Speaker 1>official corporate blog published his direct message to employees, emphasizing

9
00:00:46.439 --> 00:00:50.640
<v Speaker 1>that we are in a tectonic AI platform shift. He

10
00:00:50.759 --> 00:00:54.719
<v Speaker 1>described this not as mere evolution, but as reinvention for

11
00:00:54.840 --> 00:00:58.640
<v Speaker 1>both the company and himself, stating his intent to lead

12
00:00:58.679 --> 00:01:02.840
<v Speaker 1>with intensity and pay in the rapidly shifting AI landscape.

13
00:01:02.920 --> 00:01:06.840
<v Speaker 1>According to geek Wire and the Microsoft blog, this reorg

14
00:01:06.920 --> 00:01:11.680
<v Speaker 1>titans feedback loops between sales, marketing, and engineering, and is

15
00:01:11.719 --> 00:01:14.719
<v Speaker 1>designed so that Nadella and the company's top technical leaders

16
00:01:15.000 --> 00:01:18.719
<v Speaker 1>are laser focused on our highest ambition technical work across

17
00:01:18.760 --> 00:01:22.959
<v Speaker 1>our data center, build out systems, architecture, AI science, and

18
00:01:23.040 --> 00:01:27.120
<v Speaker 1>product innovation. On social media Satya, Nadella has not been

19
00:01:27.159 --> 00:01:30.560
<v Speaker 1>silent either. In the past few days, he posted a

20
00:01:30.599 --> 00:01:34.599
<v Speaker 1>Friday evening reflection on threads about adjusting his cloud infrastructure

21
00:01:34.599 --> 00:01:38.400
<v Speaker 1>assumptions for the AI era, sharing some personal notes on

22
00:01:38.480 --> 00:01:43.000
<v Speaker 1>how public speaking is for him, about transferring ideas rather

23
00:01:43.040 --> 00:01:47.359
<v Speaker 1>than performance. That same self effacing, approachable tone was on

24
00:01:47.400 --> 00:01:51.159
<v Speaker 1>display in a recent Microsoft all hands town hall reported

25
00:01:51.159 --> 00:01:54.439
<v Speaker 1>by the Times of India. When asked about growing confusion

26
00:01:54.719 --> 00:01:58.640
<v Speaker 1>around the company's different copoalt AI products, Nadella joked that

27
00:01:58.680 --> 00:02:01.040
<v Speaker 1>the best way to solve the branding issue would be

28
00:02:01.040 --> 00:02:04.040
<v Speaker 1>to get a billion users of each, drawing laughter from

29
00:02:04.040 --> 00:02:09.360
<v Speaker 1>Microsoft's employees, He swiftly shifted to a serious note, emphasizing

30
00:02:09.400 --> 00:02:13.000
<v Speaker 1>that daily usage and a sharper marketing approach will sort

31
00:02:13.039 --> 00:02:17.319
<v Speaker 1>out confusion in the market. Meanwhile, on x formerly Twitter,

40
00:02:49.120 --> 00:02:52.479
