Also: What makes Microsoft tick? Althoff's January 2019 reorg was done in the name of "further accelerating our cloud growth and simplifying our organizational model" in the second half of Microsoft's fiscal year, based on information I've seen. (Microsoft's fiscal 2019 runs from July 1, 2018 to June 30, 2019.) The reorg affected businesses that are charged with selling cloud and digital services to Microsoft's larger customers and partners. Althoff brought in Corey Sanders, who had been leading Azure Compute, to oversee Microsoft Solutions inside the Worldwide Commercial Business.
