Former Microsoft Chief Software Architect Ray Ozzie joins HP's board of directors

Ray Ozzie may have left Microsoft back in October 2010, having directly focused a lot of the company's recent efforts on cloud connectivity, but he's now got a new job. Ozzie will be joining HP CEO Meg Whitman on the company's board. Increasing the board size to twelve, he will join James Skinner, currently the chairman of Walgreens and former CEO of McDonald's and Former CEO of Liberty Media Robert Bennett. The influential former MS software chief, who succeeded Bill Gates in the position back in 2006, will join groups looking into human resources, compensation and governance -- some pretty important spheres. HP isn't done, however, and will apparently be hunting down yet more directors in the next few months.
