The chief of Microsoft Corp.’s LinkedIn is taking charge of the teams that build email and productivity apps, in a reorganization that consolidates more of the company’s workplace software as it seeks to speed up deployment of artificial intelligence tools.

Roslansky has guided LinkedIn as the platform increased its revenues and launched new AI-powered products; now Microsoft wants him to do the same for Office.

LinkedIn CEO Ryan Roslansky will oversee Microsoft Office apps in a new role aimed at unifying the company’s AI strategy across platforms including Microsoft 365, Dynamics 365, and LinkedIn.
