Microsoft did that for a lot longer than I expected honestly. Historically they would take a year or so before giving up on the "you're an independent company" bit and merge the team into MS orgs.

GitHub pulled it off for 5ish years before that began to change, and it was only last year when they stopped having their own "CEO".
