June 8, 2007 - 14:30 PDT
Microsoft today issued the following statement regarding its Macintosh Business Unit: "As Microsoft's Macintosh Business Unit (Mac BU) prepares to launch Office 2008 for Mac in the second half of this year, it has some exciting news to share with the appointment of Craig Eisler as general manager. Craig replaces Roz Ho, who after seven successful years of leadership in the Mac BU transitioned to a new role within Robbie Bach's Entertainment & Devices Division. In a statement shared by Tom Gibbons, corporate vice president, he welcomed Craig, commenting that, "with Craig's deep background in technology and product development, his demonstrated business leadership, and his respect for Apple, I have every confidence that he will continue to drive a productive relationship with Apple and carry on the Macintosh Business Unit’s tradition of delivering outstanding native Mac productivity software."
Craig comes to the Mac BU with a long history in technology, ranging from his time at Microsoft as development manager for DirectX to CEO of wireless software developer Action Engine to forming AOL Wireless in 2005 before rejoining Microsoft in February 2007. Craig will work closely with the staff of the Mac BU to deliver Office 2008 for Mac as well as work on future versions of this award-winning productivity suite.
