Microsoft’s Office and Teams chief is leaving

GeekWire first reported that Microsoft executives Peter Lee, president of Microsoft Science, and EVP Ryan Roslansky are set to depart the company. Their exits remove the head of the firm’s research arm and the leader of its Office and Teams portfolio, stakes that could affect product direction and internal innovation pipelines. The move joins a recent wave of senior exits at the firm, as noted in the broader executive departure context.

Subsequent coverage from qz.com, The Information and CNBC added that Roslansky, the former chief of LinkedIn, was serving as the chief of Office and Teams at the time of his departure, while Lee was stepping down from his Science presidency. The Verge zeroed in on the Office and Teams chief role, underscoring the impact on the collaboration suite. Coverage underscores that Roslansky's transition follows his tenure leading LinkedIn, while Lee's departure marks the end of his tenure overseeing Microsoft’s research initiatives.

All outlets convey the same departure details; no contradictory statements appear across the reports. No outlet presented an alternate departure date or role description, keeping the reported facts consistent. Current reporting confirms that both Lee and Roslansky will leave Microsoft, leaving vacancies that the firm must fill to maintain momentum in its research and productivity divisions.
