(Reuters) – Two Microsoft Corp executives, Tony Bates and Tami Reller, are preparing to leave the company as Satya Nadella takes over as chief executive, according to a media report. Bates, the former Skype CEO in charge of Microsofts business development, will leave immediately, technology news site Re/code reported on Sunday citing unnamed sources. Bates, who has also worked at Cisco Systems Inc, was considered one of the potential CEO candidates to succeed Steve Ballmer, who announced in August that he would retire. Eric Rudder, head of advanced strategy, will temporarily take up Bates duties and marketing executive Chris Capossela will replace Reller, the report said.
