Microsoft Appoints Pavan Davuluri as New Chief Product Officer, Panay Steps Down

The transition places Davuluri in a pivotal position, reporting directly to Microsoft's CEO, Satya Nadella.

Microsoft has announced a significant leadership change as Pavan Davuluri takes the helm as Corporate Product Chief, succeeding Panos Panay. This transition places Davuluri in a pivotal position as he will be reporting directly to Microsoft’s CEO, Satya Nadella.

In parallel, Panay is set to join Amazon to head the unit responsible for the company’s Alexa and Echo products, stepping into the role previously held by David Limp, who plans to retire this year. Panos Panay, after nearly two decades at Microsoft, during which he played a crucial role in creating the Surface line of computers and overseeing the launch of Windows 11, steps down.

This leadership shift comes as Microsoft holds its product launch event, where new additions to the Surface lineup are anticipated, alongside the unveiling of the company’s latest AI innovations.

Davuluri will play a key role in Microsoft’s emphasis on integrating generative AI into its wide array of products, spanning cloud services, search, and productivity software. This highlights the company’s commitment to advancing technology in an increasingly AI-driven world.
