Microsoftannouncedyesterday two new additions to its board of directors, Penny S. Pritzker, founder and chairman of PSP Capital and Arne Sorenson, former U.S. Secretary of Commerce. These nominations follow theappointment of Hugh Johnston, vice chairman and chief financial officer of PepsiCo last month.

The new board members will be presented for election at the company’s annual shareholders meeting on Nov. 29, 2017, when ValueAct Capital President G.Mason Morfit will also leave the board. “Penny and Arne are both strong leaders with impressive accomplishments and contributions that span business and public service,” said John Thompson, independent Microsoft board chairman. “They will serve as valuable additions to the board.”

With these two additions, Microsoft’s board of directors will soon have 14 members including Reid Hoffman, LinkedIn co-founder and partner at Greylock Partners, Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates and CEO Satya Nadella. You can learn more about Board of Directors members onMicrosoft’s website.

For most of the kids of his age, the Internet was an amazing way to play and communicate with others, but he was deeply impressed by the flow of information and how easily you can find anything on the web.

Prior to founding Windows Report, this particular curiosity about digital content enabled him to grow a number of sites that helped hundreds of millions reach faster the answer they’re looking for.
