Microsoft is consolidating its consumer and enterprise AI teams into a single unified organization. The move, announced by CEO Satya Nadella on March 17, 2026, ends the era of separate AI products for work and personal use.
Jacob Andreou, previously with Microsoft AI and Snap, has been named Executive Vice President of Copilot. He will report directly to Nadella.
The reorganization also shifts responsibilities for Mustafa Suleiman, who joined Microsoft as CEO of Microsoft AI in 2024. Suleiman will now focus on frontier model development and long-term superintelligence research, while Andreou oversees the user-facing Copilot product.
The strategic goal is to transform Copilot from a collection of distinct products into a single, contextually aware AI system across Microsoft's ecosystem, including Microsoft 365 applications.
Microsoft's primary competitors in this space are OpenAI, which is developing its own productivity tools, and Google, which is pursuing a similar integration strategy with Gemini across its Workspace and Android products.
