Kara Swisher reported last week that Alan Mulally is now a front-runner for the job as Microsoft’s next CEO.
Previously, he had been rumored to be a wildcard candidate for the job but one who was unlikely to leave his current post at Ford.
Mulally was a longtime Seattle resident – and still keeps a home there – from his time working at Boeing (most recently as the head of their Commercial Airplanes unit). He’s also had many chats with Steve Ballmer and presumably Bill Gates over the years.
