He will lead efforts to embed advanced AI into everyday tools, focusing on an “agentic web” approach where AI assistants can handle complex tasks across Microsoft 365 and LinkedIn.
His goal will be to unify these platforms into an AI-first system that helps professionals work more efficiently, collaborate better, and advance their careers.

Talking about the transition, he said on LinkedIn, “A lot has changed since I started at LinkedIn in 2008, when the company was under 200 people. Back then, we were building for a world where the internet lived on computers, not in your pocket. Today, the world of work—and the technology behind it—looks entirely different.”
He continued, “I’m proud of what we’ve built together, and I’m excited to see where they take it next... Still building some amazing and transformative things with an epic team across LinkedIn and Microsoft.”
Shroff, who has previously held engineering roles at Levarage, Oracle and Ariba, joined LinkedIn in 2008. His 18 year career took him from an Engineering Lead to the Senior Vice President of Engineering and now President of Platforms and Digital Work at Microsoft.
Shroff was the VP Engineering, Consumer, when Microsoft acquired LinkedIn in 2016 and then was soon elevated to Vice President, Product Engineering, before becoming the Senior Vice President of Engineering.
Shroff is also a prominent leader in the BAPS community and a frequent attendee of BAPS event.
