Challenges and Strategy

Part of A Memo by Bill Gates

Subjects > Computers (Search for Computers) > Microsoft (Search for Microsoft) > Challenges and Strategy By Bill Gates

RETIREMENT OF KEY EXECUTIVES: The retirement of Jon Shirley and Jeremy Butler -- absolutely two of the finest executives anywhere -- are significant losses for Microsoft. Last year's "think week" was my worst, because Mike Hallman called me to say Jeremy was planning to retire. I had Jeremy fly out and meet with me for hours to try and change his mind. I am sure more people will be retiring in the future. However, I am confident that we are developing a lot of great people internally and that we are hiring the best people from outside the company. Just look at some of the recent additions to our executive staff -- people like Brad Silverberg, Jeff Raikes and Gary Gidot. Consider the talent pool right below the executive staff level -- Jim Alichin, Pete Higgins, Patty Stonesifer, Rob Glaser, Mike Murray, Mike Brown, and so many others. I love working with people of this caliber -- not only do they do a good job but they keep me doing my best. I certainly have no plans to back off from my dedication to the company.
