????史蒂芬?埃洛普

????當(dāng)前職務(wù)：CEO，諾基亞

????埃洛普曾在微軟、瞻博網(wǎng)絡(luò)和Adobe公司擔(dān)任過高管職位。按照他的履歷，他應(yīng)該是鮑爾默繼任者的熱門人選。他了解科技行業(yè)，尤其是微軟，曾領(lǐng)導(dǎo)過與Office產(chǎn)品開發(fā)有關(guān)的所有團(tuán)隊。最近，他一直在努力扭轉(zhuǎn)諾基亞的艱難處境。然而，他在諾基亞智能手機(jī)上采用Windows操作系統(tǒng)的策略沒能贏得消費(fèi)者的歡心，這或許會成為他的不利因素。

????Stephen Elop

????Current role: CEO, Nokia

????Elop, who has held executive positions as Microsoft, Juniper Networks and Adobe (ADBE), is an obvious candidate to succeed Ballmer based on his resume. He knows the technology industry and Microsoft in particular, having led the all-important group that makes Office. Most recently, he's been trying to turn around Nokia, the troubled mobile phone maker. However, his strategy of adopting the Windows operating system for Nokia's smartphones hasn't exactly been a hit with customers, and it will likely count against him.
