Microsoft reportedly has added another candiate to its potential CEO lineup, Ericsson boss Hans Vestberg.



From The Inquirer:
That's according to Bloomberg, which has heard from people "familiar with the company's plans" that Microsoft is considering 48 year old Ericsson CEO Vestberg as a potential replacement for Steve Ballmer.

This is the first time Vestberg's name has been linked to the Microsoft CEO job, and comes just a few months before the firm will have to make its decision, with Ballmer set to leave the company in August 2014.
