Satya Nadella on who his ‘boss’ is and what it means to be chairman of Microsoft

Earlier this month, Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella was appointed as the chairman of Microsoft. Nadella joined Microsoft in 1992 as an engineer and became CEO in 2014 and now chairman. It is for the first time since 2000 that the same person is holding both these positions in Microsoft. Now that Nadella is the chairman, who is his boss? In an interview with The Verge, Nadella revealed the answer to the question. On being asked who is boss is, the chairman of Microsoft replied, “If your boss is defined as the person who ultimately can hold you accountable, it’s the independent directors of the Microsoft board.”
