In yet another management shift, Microsoft Corp. has appointed Mohsen Al-Ghosein to head its Exchange Server group. Al-Ghosein, who joined Microsoft in 1990, has been involved in a number of corporate strategy and architectural roles at the company and was appointed a distinguished engineer in 2000. He replaces Malcolm Pearson, who is currently on a sabbatical from the Redmond, Wash., software firm. Paul Flessner, vice president of Microsoft's .Net Enterprise Software group, told eWEEK that Pearson is expected to return to the firm in several months to fill an as-yet undetermined role and position.
