Chief operating officer Kevin Turner said "We will leverage Tony’s deep experience in running global IT organizations, and his focus will be in three key areas.
"First, we want to run a world-class IT department, leveraging Tony’s track record and deep knowledge of operational excellence to achieve the highest level of business value by utilizing IT.
"Second, as Microsoft’s biggest user of our products and solutions, Tony and the IT team will drive our solutions and deployment throughout our enterprise and provide valuable input and feedback to our product groups. In turn, this will ultimately improve our customer satisfaction in the marketplace.
"Third, we will call upon Tony to connect and collaborate with CIOs around the world to regularly share best practices with our customers and partners."
