If Satya is indeed promoted to CEO, Soma -- not Scott -- will be promoted to EVP.

I imagine that Satya would know the people well and where he wants them so we may see some shuffling in the next 6-9 months. Scott is a great public persona and clicks with developers far more than Soma. Soma is stronger operationally and there are going to be other ops critical roles to fill because Satya's elevation to CEO will certainly cause some high level people to leave.

Going to be an interesting next couple years.
