Q and A with Qi Lu, Microsoft's new President of the Online Services Group

posted Thu, Dec 11 2008

Since the announcement on December 4th, there’s been a lot of buzz around Microsoft’s newly hired President Online Services Group, Qi Lu. Although he won't start his new job until January 5th, Lu has already begun to get acquainted with the company, the culture and the campus.

Dr. Lu joined Steve Ballmer for an employee Town Hall event in Redmond on December 8th where both expressed their excitement and eagerness to work together to move the Online Services Group business further. Following initial introductions, Dr. Lu took employee questions ranging from his perspective on Microsoft’s place in the online services space to his vision for the group’s future.

Shortly after this Town Hall Meeting took place, the Microsoft PressPass site posted their own Q&A session with Qi Lu that gives a small glimpse into what factored into his decision to come to Microsoft, what “having an impact” means to him and where he sees opportunities for Microsoft in the search and online space.

    Will he also handle live search improvements?

    I believe Live Search falls under a different leader, but Dr. Lu will be working closely with all groups that align with his.
