Background
Satya Nadella, Microsoft's new CEO, looks like everything his predecessors Steve Ballmer and Bill Gates were not. For one thing, as Microsoft's lovingly crafted, iOS7-inspired, nearly devotional website to him shows, Nadella's techie cool look is in marked contrast to the crumpled oxford shirts and dad jeans favored by both Ballmer and Gates. In well-fitting hoodie, finely crafted t-shirt and suit jackets over chic jeans, Nadella's image as presented by Microsoft shows him to be the Esquire-styled love child of Mark Zuckerberg and Steve Jobs, with a touch of the finely tailored panache and shiny suits of JP Morgan CEO Jamie Dimon.
He inhabits a variety of modes: the lecturer, the thinker, the math geek in a hoodie in front of a chalkboard of formulas, the leader with a lightly clenched fist to show decisiveness and determination. In a world where his overenthusiastic, bear-like predecessor Ballmer might have been described as Comic Sans, Nadella is a slim, cool, minimal Helvetica.
