Ballmer intends to remain on Microsoft board after end of CEO gig

Steve Ballmer may be stepping down as CEO of Microsoft, but he’s not planning to let go of the reins in Redmond completely, if a recent filing with the US Securities and Exchange Commission is any indication.

In Microsoft’s 2013 proxy statement, filed with the SEC on Thursday, the company’s board of directors gave its recommendations to shareholders of who should be elected to the board this time around, and the list of names included both Ballmer and current chairman Bill Gates.
