The Wall Street Journal reported today that Microsoft has tapped Robbie Bach, Chief Xbox Officer and Senior Vice President of the Home and Entertainment Division, to revamp the company's digital-music strategy and compete better with Apple and its iPod, iTunes music service.
Mr. Bach is expected to be given the authority to push for a range of changes, such as setting up a team focused solely on digital music, reorganizing product groups, or acquiring companies, the people familiar with the matter say. Mr. Bach's new role will add to his current responsibilities as co-chairman of an executive committee that steers consumer strategy. One immediate mission for him will be to make Microsoft's new Xbox a hub for handling digital music. A Microsoft spokesman says it is too early to discuss Mr. Bach's new role.
The WSJ says that Bach was promoted after his team showed the Xbox 360 to top Microsoft executives. According to the newspaper, Mr. Ballmer would have decided to select Bach for the new job after the Xbox team explained Chief Executive Steve Ballmer the process they used to design, build and market the Xbox 360.
Later, executives talked about how they might employ lessons learned from Mr. Bach's group. The retreat included a brief analysis of rival Apple's music strategy. After the retreat, Mr. Ballmer sent a memo to top executives assigning Mr. Bach to the music role, the people say.
In his 15 years at Microsoft, Bach has been responsible for everything from small-business marketing and OEM programs to major product launches and marketing for Microsoft’s family of productivity applications, including Microsoft Office, the Outlook messaging and collaboration client, Publisher, the FrontPage Web site creation and management tool, and Works.
As chief Xbox officer and senior vice president of the Home and Entertainment Division (HED) at Microsoft Corp., Robbie Bach directs a global division that is committed to delivering consumer hardware and software products and the most realistic, intense and action-packed game experiences to gamers around the world
