Bill Gates withdrew from the Microsoft Board of Directors
Bill Gates, co-founder and former CEO of Microsoft, is withdrawing from the company's board of directors. Previously, he was the CEO of Microsoft until 2000 when he left this position to spend more time with the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation. In 2008, he left his full-time position with Microsoft to focus his efforts entirely on volunteer work.
So it seems that Gates' move to withdraw from the Board of Directors this time has the same reason, as the press release only indicates the desire to " spend more time on priorities for his charity work . " Despite this, Mr. Gates still serves as a "technology consultant" for the current CEO Satya Nadella - a position he has held since 2014 at Satya's request when Mr. Gates stepped down as president of the Society. Microsoft board.
Commenting on Gates' statement, Nadella said:
" It is an honor and a great privilege to have worked and learned from Bill over the years. Bill founded our company with the belief in the democratic power of software and passion. love to solve the most pressing challenges of society. And Microsoft and the world are good for that . "
" The board has benefited from Bill's leadership and vision. And Microsoft will continue to benefit from Bill's passion for technology and ongoing advice to promote products and services. We are grateful for Bill's friendship and look forward to continuing to work alongside him to carry out our mission to empower every person and every organization in the world. so they can achieve more . "
Although Gates retains a fragile bond to the company he founded as a technology consultant, the move marks the furthest step away from Gates. since he stepped down as CEO in 2000.
