Lisa Monaco, previously serving as Deputy Attorney General under President Biden’s administration, is set to join Microsoft, as reported by Axios. In her new role, Monaco will spearhead Microsoft’s global policy endeavors and will be responsible for cybersecurity policy and collaboration with international governments and organizations.
This key hiring decision follows Microsoft’s promotion of C.J. Mahoney, a former official from the Trump administration, to the position of General Counsel. Mahoney will concentrate on legal concerns related to Microsoft’s product offerings and services.
Both appointments are expected to bolster Microsoft’s legal and policy teams at a time when the tech giant is navigating complex regulatory landscapes globally. Monaco’s vast experience in the Justice Department and Mahoney’s prior trade-related expertise are anticipated to be crucial assets as Microsoft deals with these challenges.
