By Gadjo Cardenas Sevilla

Stephen Elop, the man largely responsible for making Nokia a suitable acquisition for Microsoft as part of its devices initiative, has left the building. A memo to Microsoft employees by CEO Satya Nadella announced the compression of various divisions within Microsoft, most notably the Windows and Devices Group (WDG) which merges Windows OS and mobile devices. Elop previously headed Devices but has now 'reitired' from Microsoft as Terry Myerson takes stewardship of the compounded division.

 “Stephen and I have agreed that now is the right time for him to retire from Microsoft,” Nadella explained in his memo. “I regret the loss of leadership that this represents, and look forward to seeing where his next destination will be.”
