Xbox's New Lead: 5 Things You Should Know About Julie Larson-Green

Former Windows head Julie Larson-Green now holds the top spot for the Xbox division. The new job comes as part of Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer's aggressive company restructuring plan, which he announced Thursday morning

Larson-Green fills the void left by Don Mattrick who departed last week to become the CEO of floundering mobile game company Zynga. Mattrick's departure was a bit of a shake up for Microsoft, which is less than six-months away from the release of the next-generation Xbox One console. Ballmer was left in charge of the Xbox division while the company searched for Mattrick's replacement.
