微软 Office 与 Teams 负责人 Ryan Roslansky 离职

After nearly 18 years at LinkedIn and Microsoft, Ryan Roslansky is leaving the company. Roslansky, who until recently was the CEO of LinkedIn, waspromotedto the head of Office last year and thentook controlof Microsoft Teams earlier this year. Roslansky’s departure has triggered another leadership shuffle inside Microsoft.

“Ryan leaves the organization in a strong position,” says Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella in aninternal memo. “Over the past year, Ryan’s team has done critical work bringing together the product, engineering, and design foundations that have made this next phase possible.”

Roslansky is leaving a week after Microsoft announced its new Copilot, which thecompany is positioningas “the OS for work.” He’s also leaving around a month after calling fully AI-generated documents “a doom loop” for workers. “If we’re not careful, we’ll end up with a very expensive way to avoid writing and reading in an ocean of sameness, genericness,” said Roslansky in hisLinkedIn post.

Microsoft is now moving the teams behind Office and Microsoft Teams over to Charles Lamanna, as part of the Copilot, Agents, and Platform (CAP) organization. This is the second major reshuffling of the Office teams after Rajesh Jha, former head of Microsoft’s experiences and devices group,retired from Microsoftearlier this year.

Microsoft’s chief design officer, Jon Friedman, is also moving to report to Copilot chief Jacob Andreou. Microsoft appointed Dan Shapero as its LinkedIn CEOearlier this year, and he will continue in this role and report directly to Nadella.

Roslansky describes the decision to leave Microsoft as a hard one in his own memo to his teams, and reveals he wasn’t willing to move to Microsoft’s Redmond headquarters full time. “I know what it would take for me to lead the next phase of this work well: being in Redmond full time, every day,” says Roslansky. “But my life and my family’s life are here in the Bay Area.”
