From Cloud to Security
Bell spent almost a quarter of a century at Amazon. Over the last 15 years, he worked at AWS and reported to Jassy. His areas of expertise included product, pricing, software development and operations. Leading a security division seems a little outside those competencies, but the strategy could have more to do with his proven leadership skills.
ZDNet reports that Microsoft will move a number of people from the Cloud + AI and Experiences + Devices teams under Bell. Those changes will affect Microsoft 365 Security, Compliance and Management; Identity; Security; and the Chief Information Security Office unit.
