Microsoft Unlimited Potential team gets a new chief
Microsoft’s Unlimited Potential (UP) team has a new Corporate Vice President: Amit Mital, the former General Manager of the Live Mesh and Developer Platform unit.
Mital, a 15-year Microsoft veteran, is reporting to Anoop Gupta, whose title is “Corporate Vice President, Microsoft Unlimited Potential Group, Education Product Group, Technology Policy and Strategy.” Gupta took over last year as head of UP when Microsoft Windows veteran Will Poole retired from his last Microsoft post, where he worked on emerging-market initiatives.
Mital will be focusing on the mobile space, among others, as part of his new job.
