Microsoft has reorganized its Copilot organization, consolidating the consumer and commercial AI assistant teams under former Snap executive Jacob Andreou, who will serve as executive vice‑president and report directly to CEO Satya Nadella. Andreou’s appointment brings a product‑growth focus to the unified Copilot experience, which now spans both consumer and business customers.
The restructuring frees Mustafa Suleyman, the current head of Microsoft AI, to concentrate on developing super‑intelligence and frontier models. Suleyman’s new mandate is a five‑year effort to build proprietary, state‑of‑the‑art AI foundations that will power Microsoft’s future products and reduce reliance on external partners such as OpenAI.
Microsoft’s Copilot app has 6 million daily active users as of December, a figure that lags behind competitors like ChatGPT (392 million) and Gemini (62 million). The 15 million paying Microsoft 365 Copilot users represent only about 3 % of the enterprise platform’s user base, underscoring the need for a more integrated and compelling AI offering.
Satya Nadella said the move “moves us from a collection of great products to a truly integrated system, one that is simpler and more powerful for customers.” Mustafa Suleyman added that focusing on super‑intelligence “is foundational to everything we build above it” and will enable Microsoft to deliver world‑class models over the next five years.
The reorganization aligns with Microsoft’s broader AI strategy, which seeks to embed AI across productivity and cloud services while accelerating internal model development. By unifying Copilot under a single leader and dedicating Suleyman to foundational research, Microsoft aims to accelerate product innovation, improve user adoption, and strengthen its competitive position in the rapidly evolving AI market.
