Gates Foundation shifts management with new CEO
Seattle PI | at | by Mike
The world's largest charitable foundation is going through another major management shift this week, but the arrival of a new chief executive comes with much less fanfare than Bill Gates' own transition away from full-time work at Microsoft
The Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation has dropped a cone of silence over its new CEO, former Microsoft executive Jeff Raikes, denying requests for media interviews in order to give him 100 days of solitude to focus on his new job.
But Raikes, who starts at the foundation Tuesday, shared his perspective about the new position in several recent interviews with The Associated Press.
