LinkedIn’s CEO Is Now Also Overseeing Microsoft Office

Microsoft is giving LinkedIn CEO Ryan Roslansky a second job role—this time, overseeing Office apps. Roslansky will now also serve as Executive Vice President of Office, taking charge of Outlook, Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and Microsoft 365 Copilot. He’ll continue leading LinkedIn while adding these productivity tools to his portfolio.

The move is part of a broader restructuring that brings Microsoft’s business platforms—LinkedIn, Office, and Dynamics 365—closer together. The aim is to build better AI tools that work across all of them.

As GeekWire reports, Ryan Roslansky will report to Rajesh Jha for his Office role and to Satya Nadella for LinkedIn. Office veterans Sumit Chauhan and Gaurav Sareen will now report to Roslansky.

Microsoft is moving quickly to compete in cross-platform AI. Roslansky’s appointment supports its “agentic web” push—building AI that works fluidly across different apps and services.

Charles Lamanna, who leads the Business and Industry Copilot team, will also be reporting to Jha, leaving the Cloud + AI group. Microsoft says the leadership changes aren’t tied to recent job cuts. But they clearly mark a strategy shift: tighter integration between core products and more unified AI development.

LinkedIn brought in $13.2 billion over the past nine months, up 8% year-over-year. That makes it Microsoft’s fourth-largest business, right behind cloud, Microsoft 365 Commercial, and gaming.
