Key executives resign from Microsoft
Microsoft is losing two talented executives who have separately resigned in recent days.
Don Gagne, director of development for Microsoft Office, plans to leave the company in December to pursue a car racing hobby. The 11-year Microsoft veteran gave his notice last week, company spokesman Lou Gellos said Tuesday, confirming a report about Gagne's resignation in a blog.
Gellos said Gagne's departure, which comes a month after Microsoft announced a major reorganization, is amicable. The company has yet to find a replacement for him but expects a smooth leadership transition, Gellos added.
Gagne is highly respected at Microsoft with a reputation for no-nonsense leadership, according to the Mini-Microsoft blog.
