According to All Things D, Microsoft is shuffling management responsible for managing Windows Phone. Andy Lees, the current head of Windows Phone Business, will be replaced by Terry Myerson. Myerson has been leading the engineering efforts and will take up Lees responsibilities. In a corporate memo, Steve Ballmer praised the efforts of Lees.
“In the three years Andy has been leading the phone group, we’ve come a long way. We reset our strategy, built a strong team that delivered [Windows Phone 7] and [the Mango update] and created critical new partnerships and ecosystem around Windows Phone. That is a ton of progress in a brief period of time, and I’m excited for Terry and team to keep driving forward and for Andy to dig into a new challenge.”
