Roslansky has guided LinkedIn as the platform increased its revenues and launched new AI-powered products; now Microsoft wants him to do the same for Office.

The chief of Microsoft Corp.’s LinkedIn is taking charge of the teams that build email and productivity apps, in a reorganization that consolidates more of the company’s workplace software as it seeks to speed up deployment of artificial intelligence tools.

LinkedIn CEO Ryan Roslansky will oversee Microsoft Office apps in a new role aimed at unifying the company’s AI strategy across platforms including Microsoft 365, Dynamics 365, and LinkedIn.
