Satya Nadella is officially the new Microsoft CEO and although some people believe that Steve Ballmer and Bill Gates will actually be the ones controlling the company, analysts believes that Nadella is the perfect choice for the Redmond-based tech giant.

Analyst Ed Maguire of Credit Agricole told ValueWalk that Satya Nadella is a “highly qualified and conservative choice” for the CEO role, even though he might not “rock the boat.”

And still, he has what it takes to continue Microsoft’s transition to devices and services and “his pragmatic streak means there might be a more open stance toward changes, particularly in areas investors regard as key, such as uses of cash and potential divestitures.”

Satya Nadella is the new company CEO, but he will work together with Bill Gates, Microsoft’s co-founder who rejoined in the more active role of technical advisor.
