Microsoft has named Jacob Andreou Executive Vice President of Copilot, putting him in charge of the Copilot experience across both consumer and commercial products as the company reorganizes its AI leadership. In a message to employees, CEO Satya Nadella said Microsoft is bringing Copilot together as a unified effort spanning the user experience, platform, Microsoft 365 apps, and AI models.
Andreou, previously corporate vice president of product and growth at Microsoft AI, will report directly to Nadella and oversee design, product, growth, and engineering for Copilot. Nadella said the company’s recent product direction, including more agentic features and multi-step task execution, has made tighter coordination across apps, workflows, and models more important. Microsoft is restructuring around that shift, with Ryan Roslansky, Perry Clarke, and Charles Lamanna continuing to lead Microsoft 365 apps and the Copilot platform.
The reorganization also gives Mustafa Suleyman a more concentrated role in Microsoft’s superintelligence work and AI model development. Suleyman said the new structure will allow him to focus his energy on building frontier models with long-term product impact, while still remaining closely involved in Copilot strategy. Together, Andreou, Suleyman, Roslansky, Clarke, and Lamanna will make up the new Copilot Leadership Team, signaling a tighter link between Microsoft’s product experience and its model-building efforts.
