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.
- lukasm 13y agoMy question was about the position "what does it mean if someone is ..." not who has it.
- ygra 13y agoIt 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.
