Chief Product Officer Panos Panay is out at Microsoft, reportedly heading to Amazon
Speaking of Dave Limp, Panay is reportedly heading over to Amazon next, where he will resume the same role. We have reached out to Amazon for comment. Both companies holding devices events this week, so things are about to get interesting. Microsoft’s event will likely be focused on Surface products, Panay’s long time focus, while Amazon will almost certainly be announcing a number of Echo/Alexa products. Bringing on someone with PC experience could mark a shift in focus for the division, which was impacted by last year’s Amazon layoffs.
