Steve Ballmer has shuffled some Microsoft top boffins around, using his closing days as CEO to cement his massive summer re-org.
Harry Shum, Bing engineering chief and ex Microsoft Research managing director for Asia, has been named executive vice president of technology and research.
Shum replaces Eric Rudder who has been shifted to a newly created position of executive vice president advanced strategy. Rudder’s position was used to tighten the link between Microsoft Research and Microsoft’s product operations.
