The move aims to align Nadella’s incentives with the company’s strategic priorities and reflects the growing importance of cybersecurity and AI in the tech industry.

The company’s cybersecurity business has also seen significant growth, with its security software and services generating over $20 billion in revenue last year. By tying Nadella’s compensation to these key focus areas, Microsoft hopes to drive innovation and maintain its competitive edge in the rapidly evolving tech landscape.
