Microsoft Hires Wal-Mart Exec





Steve is changing the culture of promoting within now.

From Seattle Times:

A top Wal-Mart executive was named head of sales at Microsoft yesterday in a surprise reorganization of the software company's executive ranks.

Kevin Turner, who rose from checkout clerk at the Ada, Okla., Wal-Mart to chief executive of its Sam's Club division, starts work Sept. 8 in Redmond as chief operating officer.

Turner, 40, will lead the company's sales, marketing and internal information-systems groups and report to Chief Executive Steve Ballmer. He's getting a pay package worth up to $33.4 million.
