Microsoft Commercial Division CEO Sells Millions in Shares

Judson Althoff, CEO of Microsoft Corp.’s Commercial Business segment, sold approximately $7.15 million worth of the company’s common stock in an open-market transaction on June 1, according to public filings, yet he still holds around 110,000 shares. The company’s Chief People Officer also disposed of a small number of shares in May, with certain shares withheld to satisfy tax obligations. Meanwhile, the board has grown to 13 members following the recent appointment of Carmine Di Sibio, former Global Chairman of EY.

In its third quarter of fiscal 2026, announced on April 29, Microsoft reported revenues of about $82.89 billion, including $54.5 billion in cloud revenue, highlighting generative AI and Azure-focused cloud demand as key growth drivers. At Computex, the company unveiled its Windows on ARM initiative and AI PC vision in collaboration with NVIDIA, sparking a short-term rebound in its share price and underlining its continued commitment to AI and cloud investments.

Microsoft—spanning software offerings such as Windows, Office, Azure Cloud and Copilot, alongside cloud services and AI infrastructure—is one of the world’s largest IT companies by market capitalization. Judson Althoff was promoted to Commercial Business CEO in October 2025, overseeing the global sales and partner organization, while Carmine Di Sibio, a governance and compensation specialist and former EY Global Chairman & CEO, will focus on governance and risk management on the board.
