Microsoft is undergoing a lot of change ever since the company came under the leadership of Satya Nadella. According to a new report, Peggy Johnson, a top Qualcomm executive, is leaving to take a high-level job at the software giant.

Currently, she’s the executive vice president and head of global market development at Qualcomm, which mainly involves overseeing the company’s marketing decisions. Johnson joined the company as an engineer in its wireless unit, and was later promoted to the position of vice president for the unit.

Both companies declined to confirm whether Johnson is really leaving Qualcomm for Microsoft or not. We’ll update you as soon as any official news comes up regarding the new recruit.

Radu Tyrsina has been a Windows fan ever since he got his first PC, a Pentium III (a monster at that time). 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.
