Summary
In an internal memo issued this week, Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella informed employees that Kathleen Hogan, the company’s chief HR officer and executive vice president, will be assuming a new role focused on corporate strategy in the AI era.
Nadella said that the move comes after he and Hogan have been discussing the transition for some time, and as such, Amy Coleman, who has overseen HR operations for multiple parts of Microsoft over the past four years, is being promoted to chief people officer and will join the company’s senior leadership team.
Meanwhile, Microsoft is preparing to launch an AI-powered Copilot for Gaming feature next month, which will be part of the Xbox mobile app and designed to be a second-screen assistant or companion.
Fortnite is coming to Windows on Arm devices later this year, and Epic Games is even teaming up with Qualcomm to add support for Easy Anti-Cheat on Arm-based laptops.
