• Julie Larson-Green leaves Microsoft, effective today

    Posted on October 31, 2017 at 12:46 CDT by • Comment in the Forums

    A brilliant engineer – whether you agreed with her designs or not – is leaving, “to pursue new adventures in building great teams and customer-first products,” according to Mary Jo Foley.

    Hers is an amazing story — from lead developer on Visual C++ to Clippy killer, to a rumored candidate for Microsoft CEO. She stepped down as head of the Office user interface design job this past May. I wrote about her then.

    Best of luck, Julie.
