Microsoft’s Office and Teams chief is leaving

微软 Office 和 Teams 负责人即将离职

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

在 LinkedIn 和微软工作近 18 年后，Ryan Roslansky 即将离职。Roslansky 直到最近还是 LinkedIn 的首席执行官，他去年被提拔为 Office 部门负责人，并于今年早些时候接管了 Microsoft Teams。Roslansky 的离职引发了微软内部新一轮的领导层变动。

“Ryan leaves the organization in a strong position,” says Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella in an internal 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.”

“Ryan 离开时，公司正处于一个强有力的位置，”微软首席执行官萨提亚·纳德拉（Satya Nadella）在一份内部备忘录中表示。“在过去的一年里，Ryan 的团队在整合产品、工程和设计基础方面做了关键性工作，这使得下一阶段的发展成为可能。”

Roslansky is leaving a week after Microsoft announced its new Copilot, which the company is positioning as “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 his LinkedIn post.

Roslansky 离职距离微软发布其新版 Copilot 仅一周时间，微软将该产品定位为“工作的操作系统”。此外，他离职前一个月左右曾称完全由人工智能生成的文档对员工来说是“一种厄运循环”。Roslansky 在其 LinkedIn 帖子中写道：“如果我们不小心，最终只会得到一种极其昂贵的方式，让我们在同质化和平庸的海洋中逃避写作和阅读。”

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 Microsoft earlier this year.

作为 Copilot、智能体与平台（CAP）组织架构调整的一部分，微软现在将 Office 和 Microsoft Teams 的团队移交给 Charles Lamanna 管理。这是继微软体验与设备部门前负责人 Rajesh Jha 今年早些时候退休后，Office 团队的第二次重大重组。

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

微软首席设计官 Jon Friedman 也将转而向 Copilot 负责人 Jacob Andreou 汇报。微软今年早些时候任命 Dan Shapero 为 LinkedIn 首席执行官，他将继续担任该职务并直接向纳德拉汇报。

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.”

Roslansky 在给团队的备忘录中称离开微软是一个艰难的决定，并透露他不愿意全职搬到微软位于雷德蒙德的总部。“我知道要出色地领导这项工作的下一阶段需要什么：每天全职在雷德蒙德工作，”Roslansky 说，“但我的生活和家人的生活都在湾区。”
