According to an internal memorandum, Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella has new arrangements for the head of the company's public affairs. Microsoft President Brad Smith will take over the company's communications division. The division was previously headed by Chief Marketing Officer Takeshi Numoto. This move means that the company's corporate communications affairs will be managed by an executive who has always acted as the “public spokesperson” of Microsoft's position on regulation, geopolitics, AI governance, and other issues affecting Microsoft's global expansion. Frank Shaw, Microsoft's current chief communications officer, recently announced that he will step down at the end of this year.
