Former LinkedIn chief Ryan Roslansky to leave Microsoft
MSFT•Microsoft said executive vice president Ryan Roslansky, who leads its M365 apps and previously served as LinkedIn CEO, will leave the company. He will stay through the end of the calendar year as an advisor to CEO Satya Nadella.
1. Departure and transition
Roslansky said he decided to leave because the next phase of Microsoft's work would require him to be based full-time in Redmond, Washington, while his family is in the San Francisco Bay Area. He became LinkedIn CEO in 2020 and stepped down from that role earlier this year; Dan Shapero will continue as LinkedIn CEO and report directly to Nadella.
2. Microsoft's Copilot work
Nadella said Roslansky's team spent the past year bringing together product, engineering and design foundations for Microsoft's next phase of work around Copilot.
