Inside Microsoft’s wave of executive departures

Microsoft is seeing a rapid wave of senior departures across Teams, security, Xbox, and the experiences and devices group.

In response, Satya Nadella is reshaping leadership, flattening reporting lines, and updating rewards and performance programs.

The exits suggest Microsoft is under pressure to retain senior talent amid weak stock performance and shifting business priorities.

The shakeup could affect how major units like Windows, Office, GitHub, Copilot, and Xbox are run.
