Role: Board chair

Scope and limitsThe date is the announcement the filing reports, not an election or effective date; the record states no tenure. Microsoft’s 2026 proxy statement (21 October 2026) is signed by Satya Nadella as Chairman and Chief Executive Officer; that is the title on that date, not evidence that the role continues. A cross-family check of 2026-10-30 read “Effective June 16” in an archive capture of Microsoft’s 2021 proxy statement; this admission could not retrieve that text, so no effective date is recorded.

Status and meaning

Editorial status. Not reviewed by an editor. An exploratory record that no editor has accepted. This status does not say whether a person has read any linked passage. Each evidence record above shows how it was checked.

Relation. An institutional role with explicitly scoped time: snapshot, sourced interval, or unknown dates. No continuing appointment is implied.

Date. Date of the announcement, as the 8-K states it; the filing gives neither the date of the election nor an effective date.
