Microsoft told employees on Thursday that it has hired Carolina Dybeck Happe as its executive vice president and chief operations officer, reporting to CEO Satya Nadella.
Dybeck Happe comes from GE, where she was senior vice president and chief financial officer from 2020 until September 2023.
She will join Microsoft's senior leadership team alongside finance chief Amy Hood, cloud and AI engineering leader Scott Guthrie and other executives.
GE CEO Larry Culp called Dybeck Happe "a high-impact executive" when GE announced in 2019 that it had picked Dybeck Happe to replace Jamie Miller as chief financial officer.
Before that, she spent almost 17 years at Swedish lock company Assa Abloy, where she became chief financial officer and deputy CEO.
