Microsoft Corp appointed a new head for its mobile phone software group on Monday, as the company continues to search for ways to extend its dominance in the PC market to the fast-growing and highly-competitive smartphone business.
Microsoft Windows Phone Division president Andy Lees, who has led the phone group since 2009, will take a new role at the company that involves working with the company’s phone and PC businesses, according to a letter to employees sent by CEO Steve Ballmer on Monday.
Replacing Lees as head of the Windows Phone Division is Terry Myerson, who had previously overseen engineering efforts for the phone group.
