Microsoft Corp has announced the addition of Jay Parikh to its senior leadership team, a move aimed at bolstering the company’s efforts to meet the growing demand for its artificial intelligence products. Parikh, who previously led engineering at Facebook, will report directly to Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella.

Nadella praised Parikh’s experience in leading teams through rapid growth and scale, citing his invaluable contributions to Facebook’s infrastructure and data center projects. During his tenure at Facebook, Parikh played a key role in the company’s expansion into a global social network, overseeing the development of cutting-edge server farms and data centers around the world.

At Meta Platforms Inc, Parikh spearheaded various technical projects, including subsea cables and the ambitious Aquila drone project. His expertise in infrastructure projects aligns with Microsoft’s focus on building data centers and chips to support its generative artificial intelligence tools, developed in partnership with OpenAI.

The addition of Parikh comes at a crucial time for Microsoft, as the company faces challenges in bringing data centers online fast enough to keep up with the demand for its Azure cloud services. Despite forecasting slower growth in the Azure business, Microsoft remains committed to expanding its network infrastructure to meet the needs of its customers.

With Parikh’s extensive experience in scaling infrastructure for large internet businesses, Microsoft is poised to strengthen its position in the artificial intelligence market. The company’s ongoing efforts to enhance its network efficiency and power through infrastructure projects will be further supported by Parikh’s leadership.

As Microsoft continues to innovate and expand its AI offerings, the appointment of Jay Parikh signals a strategic move to accelerate growth and meet the evolving needs of customers in a rapidly changing digital landscape.
