Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella has chosen top executives for leadership roles at Xbox and Cloud and Enterprise Group.

Nadella named longtime executive Scott Guthrie as the head of Cloud, the position that Nadella previously held.

Nadella also picked Phil Spencer as Xbox chief.

According to PC World, Nadella also announced that Stephen Elop would lead the devices group when Microsoft's acquisition of Nokia's smartphone business closes.

Guthrie, who joined Microsoft in 1997, has been in charge of the Cloud and Enterprise group since Nadella became CEO in early February.

Spencer's role has been expanding so that he'll be in charge not only of Microsoft Studios, but also of Xbox and Xbox Live, Xbox Music and Xbox Video, the report added.
