Latest Microsoft CEO rumor: Alan Mulally may not be the front runner anymore
Ford CEO Alan Mulally has been at or near the top of the candidate pool to take over as Microsoft's next CEO for the past few months, but a new report now claims that his front runner position might be in jeopardy, thanks in part to some public remarks that were made last week by Ford director Edsel Ford II.
When asked in a TV interview about the status of Mulally as CEO of Ford, Edsel Ford II replied, "Frankly, he has told us that his plan is to stay with Ford through the end of 2014." That statement, combined with Mulally's own non-denial comments, sent Microsoft stock down on Friday. Now a new report from AllThingD, citing unnamed sources in Microsoft, claims that those quotes made it look like Mulally was playing both sides of the fence and that apparently didn't please Microsoft's directors.
