InfoWorld | at | by Mike
Microsoft named a new head for its international operations on Monday, in a move that underscores the software maker's increasing focus on global sales, and emerging markets in particular.
Jean-Philippe Courtois has been promoted from chief executive officer of Europe, Middle East, and Africa to the new president of Microsoft International and senior vice president of Microsoft. His ascension marks the first time that Microsoft has put someone in charge of day-to-day international operations outside of the company's headquarters in Redmond, Washington.
