MUMBAI: Microsoft has named Frank Holland to the job of corporate vice president in charge of Microsoft‘s global advertising sales business, the newly created advertising and online organisation.

Holland will report to Microsoft chief operating officer, Kevin Turner.

This appointment won’t fill the job vacated by Carolyn Everson as the corporate vice president of global ad sales and strategy, when she left to handle sales for Facebook. She had worked only for nine months.

Holland is a 13-year veteran of Microsoft and for the past six years has served as corporate vice president of Microsoft‘s worldwide operations.
