Microsoft says executive vice president and consumer chief marketing officer Yusuf Mehdi will leave the company after more than 35 years. Mehdi announces the plan in an internal memo, first reported by Business Insider, and confirmed by other outlets. He is expected to depart next year, with details indicating he will stay through the next fiscal period, which ends in June 2027. During that time, Microsoft says he will continue working on consumer-facing marketing efforts tied to products including Windows, Copilot for consumers, and the Microsoft 365 consumer business. Multiple reports also describe Mehdi as a long-time figure in Microsoft’s consumer and platform work, including involvement in major initiatives across Windows, Bing, and newer AI-related consumer experiences such as Copilot Plus PCs. The reports frame the move as part of broader leadership churn at Microsoft under CEO Satya Nadella as the company continues to pivot toward AI-focused product strategies. No replacement or successor is named in the available reporting.
