Ryan Roslansky is stepping down from his role at Microsoft after nearly 18 years with the company and LinkedIn. He previously served as CEO of LinkedIn and took charge of Microsoft Teams earlier this year after being appointed head of Office in 2023.
The departure follows Microsoft's recent announcement of its new Copilot platform. Roslansky noted that his decision to leave was driven by a requirement to work full-time at the company's Redmond headquarters, while he prefers to remain in the Bay Area with his family.
Following his exit, Microsoft is restructuring its leadership. The teams responsible for Office and Microsoft Teams will now report to Charles Lamanna within the Copilot, Agents, and Platform organization. Additionally, chief design officer Jon Friedman will report to Jacob Andreou.
Dan Shapero will continue his tenure as the CEO of LinkedIn. Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella stated in an internal memo that the organization remains in a strong position following the work completed by Roslansky's team on product, engineering, and design foundations.
