Microsoft says Ryan Roslansky, a longtime LinkedIn and Microsoft executive, is leaving the company. Multiple outlets report that Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella informs employees of the planned departure and that Roslansky will stay through the end of 2026, including an advisor role before exiting.
Roslansky has spent nearly 18 years at Microsoft and its prior LinkedIn business. He recently shifts roles internally: he leads Microsoft’s Office organization, and earlier this year he takes charge of Microsoft Teams. Quartz adds that his departure occurs amid a broader wave of executive exits and mentions reporting that Roslansky does so while weighing relocation plans.
The outlets focus on different facets of the transition. The Verge emphasizes the leadership shuffle that follows his move to run Office and Teams. The Next Web highlights the timeline and Nadella’s staff memo. Quartz provides additional context about other high-level departures and raises reasons related to reluctance to relocate, while still describing the same planned year-end exit.
