'Microsoft to have a new CEO’, is news that has garnered the company many feedbacks. The new CEO would replace Steve Ballmer, the current leader, but the person who will do this has still not been finalized. It looks like the company has still not decided on this front and is postponing the name by maybe the early part of 2014. Initially, this was to happen before 2013 ended, but the company needs more time.

The company took into consideration 100 individuals who were somehow suitable for this post and after interviewing and talking with many finally came down to a list of 20. It consists of individuals who are all impressive in their own ways. The company is still work on the process of finalizing, ‘The One’ who would be the most deserving candidate for this position at Microsoft.

Finding an individual who can replace Ballmer is not easy, and it gets even tougher after knowing that Microsoft had just two CEOs in its history. As per news or you can even say rumors, the CEO at Ford, Alan Mullaly, is speculated to head this pack of 20 shortlisted individuals. Meanwhile, Mullaly confirmed to stay with Ford for the next year though.

Another expected name is of Steve Mollenkopf, who is Qualcomm COO, who says will take over as the CEO of Qualcomm on 4^th of March. However, there are many other candidates whose names have not been released publicly and the company wishes to keep this secret a secret, for a little longer. Seeing how Ballmer fulfilled his roles and responsibilities, it’s like finding a needle in the haystack, for a person who can takeover Ballmer’s post at Microsoft, should be a distinct person.
Ballmer will be serving as CEO at Microsoft for 9 more months, before which the name will have to be finalized. So, rumors that will it be Stephen Elop, Nokia’s CEO or Alan Mullaly, Ford’s CEO, are still on. But, no one outside the Board at Microsoft is actually aware about the real name and it’s believed to become public in the early part of next year.

So, to actually know who will replace Ballmer as the new CEO of Microsoft, folks you would have to wait a little more. Till then you can keep the guessing game on!
