Julie Larson-Green, the former Windows executive who most recently led Microsoft hardware development as the top executive in the company’s Devices and Studios Group, is moving to a new role in the company’s Applications and Services Group.

Larson-Green will become chief experience officer for products including Bing, Office and Skype, among others products. She’ll report to Qi Lu, the executive vice president who leads the Applications and Services Group.

Her role leading the company’s Devices & Studios Group will be filled by Stephen Elop, the Nokia executive who is rejoining Microsoft as part of the Redmond company’s $7.2 billion acquisition of Nokia’s devices and services business. Larson-Green will remain in the Devices & Studios Group — which includes Xbox, Surface and other hardware products — until the Nokia acquisition closes. That is expected to happen this quarter.

Here’s the internal email that Larson-Green sent out to announce the change. We weren’t able to get ahold of the referenced emails from Lu or Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella. [Follow-up: Internal memo: Microsoft names leaders for key Applications & Services Group.]
