Summary
Satya Nadella has quietly dismantled Microsoft's decades-old Senior Leadership Team (SLT) structure. The SLT, which consisted of powerful executives running major business units and reporting directly to the CEO, no longer exists. In its place, Nadella created two new groups: a corporate leadership group of five key executives (Nadella, Brad Smith, Amy Hood, Amy Coleman, and Judson Althoff) that meets weekly for governance, and an engineering leadership group of roughly 35 product leaders. This restructuring represents a significant shift in how Microsoft is managed at the highest level.
