Umemezele ukuhamba kwakhe encwadini evulekile eya eqenjini leMicrosoft, lapho achaza khona nokuthi ucabangani ngekusasa lenkampani.
USteve Ballmer wathatha isikhundla sokuba yi-CEO ngo-2000 lapho umsunguli uBill Gates eshiya isikhundla esiphezulu. Ujoyine iMicrosoft kusukela ngo-1980 futhi wayehlale eyingxenye yeqembu eliphezulu.

Umuntu omusha ozongena esikhundleni sokuba yi-CEO uzokhethwa ikhomishana eyisipesheli eholwa nguJohn Thompson, kanti umsunguli uBill Gates naye uzovela kuyo. Le nkampani izosiza nasekuthungatheni umqondisi omusha U-Heidrick & Struggles, egxile ekusesheni okuphezulu. Kuzobhekwa kokubili abasebenzi bangaphandle nabangaphakathi.
