Elop less likely as MS-CEO? Still in mix but Mulally and Nadella ahead

According to Bloomberg, those in the know at MS say that the next CEO is more likely to either be Alan Mulally, CEO at Ford or Satya Nadella, EVP MS Cloud and Enterprises.

Elop and Tony Bates are still in consideration but less likely now. Could Elop’s chances have been affected by the rumours of scrapping Xbox and bing?

Even if someone else other than Elop were to take over, it doesn’t completely prevent him becoming CEO. TheVerge says that Mulally could act as a ‘caretaker’ CEO until someone emerged internally.

Bill notes that MS has only had two CEOs, something quite unusual. Could there be two in quick succession?

From the looks of the video below, Bill wants to find the ‘right guy for the right time for the company we both love’. Right guy at the right time. Could the right time mean something else needs to be done first? He chokes up at this bit.

Cheers Alvester for the tip!
