"Permanent Enterprise Chief" what does it mean? tenure?

• ygra 13y ago
  From the article: > Microsoft on Monday named Scott Guthrie as the permanent head for Microsoft’s enterprise group, a position he has held in an acting capacity. > The position became vacant after its previous occupant — Satya Nadella — was tapped as CEO. I.e. he held that position temporarily after Nadella moved on and now has it permanently.

    My question was about the position "what does it mean if someone is ..." not who has it.

      It means that until now he was just temporary head of that group because there wasn't yet a successor. Now he was named that successor. The »permanent« is not part of the title; it's just an attribute.
