Microsoft is slowly starting to integrate LinkedIn following its $26 billion acquisition of the professional network last June.

Kevin Scott, LinkedIn’s highest ranking engineering executive — he’s senior VP of infrastructure and operations — is moving over to Microsoft as the company’s new CTO. (Scott’s new role is being described as “newly created,” but in the past Microsoft has been known to have multiple CTOs at any given time.) Scott will report directly to CEO Satya Nadella.
He’ll also stick around, in some capacity, at LinkedIn, where he’ll stay on the exec team there as senior VP of infrastructure.

As part of the change, a few other LinkedIn execs are taking on expanded roles.
