谁将接替鲍尔默掌管微软？

    托尼•贝茨

    当前职务：高级副总裁，业务开发与宣传推广部，微软

    英国人贝茨不论作为技术专家，还是负责数十亿美元预算的商业领袖，均有不俗表现。最近，他负责微软的业务开发、战略与宣传推广部门——其中一项很重要的工作就是让公司众多的合作伙伴满意。之前，他曾担任在线通话服务商Skype的首席执行官，还在思科系统公司（Cisco Systems, 《财富》500强）担任过高管。贝茨在消费者与企业产品领域的经验是非常有吸引力的一个组合。

    Tony Bates

    Current role: EVP, Business Development and Evangelism group, Microsoft

    Bates, a native of England, has a proven track record as both a technologist and business leader controlling a multi-billion dollar budget. Currently, he leads Microsoft's business development, strategy and evangelism -- which involves the important job of keeping the company's many partners happy. Prior, he served as chief executive of Skype, the online calling service, and as a top executive at Cisco Systems (CSCO, Fortune 500). His experience with both consumer and enterprise products would be an attractive combination.
