<p>(Reuters) &#8211; Microsoft (NASDAQ:)&#8217;s Yusuf Mehdi, who oversees its consumer marketing efforts, is taking over the firm&#8217;s Surface and Windows businesses with the external PC makers and retail partners as longtime product chief Panos Panay steps down.</p>
<p>Microsoft also said that Pavan Davuluri will lead a hardware engineering team that includes Microsoft&#8217;s efforts to develop its own chips, according to a staff email on Monday by Rajesh Jha, executive vice president of experiences and devices group at Microsoft. Reuters has seen a copy of the email.</p>
<p>Microsoft has made big bets on generative AI, integrating the technology into a wide array of its products, including cloud, search and productivity software and services such as its Office suite.</p>
<p>The rejigging of teams comes as Panay steps down after nearly 20 years with the Redmond, Washington-based company, where he helmed the creation of the Surface line of computers and more recently oversaw the launch of the Windows 11 operating system.</p>
<p>The company is hosting a &#8220;special event&#8221; on Sept. 21, where it is expected to announce updates to its Surface lineup, among other updates. </p>
<p>(This story has been corrected to say Yusuf Mehdi will lead the Windows teams and Pavan Davuluri will lead a hardware team, not a team focused on Windows software, in the headline and paragraphs 1 and 2) </p>
