Microsoft Names Turner As Chief Operating Officer

Contributed by mm | August 4, 2005 1:53 PM PST





Lots of changes at the top this summer. BTW, the COO position has been vacant at Microsoft for several years.

From Wall Street Journal:

Microsoft Corp. named Kevin Turner, formerly a Wal-Mart Stores Inc. executive, as its chief operating officer.

The software giant said Mr. Turner, 40 years old, will be responsible for the "strategic and operational leadership" of Microsoft's sales, marketing and services work force, as well as the company's fulfillment and information-technology operations.

Mr. Turner was previously president and chief executive officer of Sam's Club, the warehouse club unit of Wal-Mart. Before that, Microsoft said Mr. Turner served as executive vice president and chief information officer for Wal-Mart, a role in which he oversaw all information systems operations for the company.
