Microsoft announces new HR executive, company veteran Amy Coleman
Microsoft's incoming chief people officer, Amy Coleman, led the development of Microsoft's human resources response to Covid and its hybrid work approach.
Microsoft said Wednesday that company veteran Amy Coleman will become its new executive vice president chief people officer, replacing Kathleen Hogan, who has held the position for the past decade.
Hogan will remain an executive vice president but move to a newly established Office of Strategy and Transformation, which is an expansion of the office of the CEO. She will join Microsoft's group of top executives, reporting directly to CEO Satya Nadella.
Coleman is stepping into a major role, given that Microsoft is among the largest employers in the U.S., with 228,000 total employees as of June 2024. She has worked at the company for more than 25 years over two stints, having first joined as a compensation manager in 1996.
