- Larry Page and Satya Nadella (And Bruce Buffer) There are other key players eg. Amazon, HP, IBM, And a raft of longer shots – Box, Dropbox Microsoft is in the middle of another metamorphosis – reinventing itself as a cloud vender (and mobility.) Tools like email, SharePoint are moving to the cloud Satya Nadella, fresh from driving Microsoft’s cloud computing division is now in charge of the whole show. He’s on record that he wants the productivity tools to remain central, as the move to the cloud …and even for the Internet of Things
