Zain Nadella, son of Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella passes away

Zain Nadella, son of Chief Executive Officer of Microsoft Satya Nadella and his wife Anu, passed away on Monday morning. He was 26 and had been born with cerebral palsy.

In an email, Microsoft Corp. told its executive staff that Zain had passed away. The message asked executives to hold the family in their thoughts and prayers while giving them space to grieve privately.

Nadella took the role of CEO in 2014. Since his joining to the software company, he was focused on designing products to better serve users with disabilities.
