Microsoft has said it has hired Tony Scott as CIO to head management of its internal IT systems.

Scott fills a position that has been open since November, when Microsoft terminated the employment of previous CIO Stuart Scott for violating company policies. The company did not disclose which policies those were. Tony Scott will report to COO Kevin Turner.

In a statement, Turner said Tony Scott's responsibilities will focus on making the most out of Microsoft's IT investments, providing feedback to Microsoft product groups and sharing best practices with other high level IT executives.

Scott comes to Microsoft from Walt Disney, where he led a major IT infrastructure upgrade. Before that, he was chief technology officer at General Motors and vice president of operations at Bristol-Myers Squibb.
