Microsoft is doing the executive shuffle with search, naming Yusuf Mehdi head of marketing for its MSN and search properties (i.e., Live Search). His team, which includes Brad Goldberg, general
manager of the search business group, runs marketing, product management, strategic partnerships, and business development for the sites.
Mehdi will report directly to Steve
Ballmer, until the company brings in someone to run the entire online services division. Meanwhile, Bill Veghte, who previously headed up the MSN and search properties, has been named senior vice
president for the Windows business. Veghte will still manage the Windows Live teams, highlighting the confusing tangle of brands under Microsoft's search and online umbrella.
