Microsoft's (MSFT) LinkedIn unit chief executive, Ryan Roslansky, has been appointed as executive vice president of Office, multiple media outlets reported Wednesday.

Roslansky, who has been LinkedIn's CEO since 2020, will now also oversee the teams behind Microsoft's productivity apps, including Outlook, Word, and Excel.

He will report to Microsoft's head of engineering for Windows and business software, Rajesh Jha, the reports said, adding that Roslansky will continue to report to Microsoft Chief Executive Satya Nadella in his LinkedIn CEO role.

The change is part of Microsoft's reorganization of its workplace software teams to speed up the rollout of artificial intelligence tools, according to the reports.

Charles Lamanna, who leads Microsoft's Dynamics 365 business software and some AI tools, will also join Jha's team, the reports said.

Microsoft didn't immediately reply to MT Newswires' request for comment.
