Microsoft Corp.’s search for a new chief financial officer is pitting Tami Reller and Amy Hood -- the top finance executives at the company’s two most profitable divisions -- against each other, two people with knowledge of the matter said.
Reller, CFO of the Windows unit, and Hood, her counterpart at the business division, are front-runners to succeed Peter Klein, said the people, who asked not to be identified because the search is private. Rik van der Kooi, chief operating officer for the Online Services unit, is also a leading candidate, one of the people said. A replacement could be named as soon as next week, this person said.
