Ryan Roslansky, who has served as the CEO of LinkedIn for six years, will leave Microsoft at the end of 2026. His departure was announced by CEO Satya Nadella, who praised Roslansky for leaving the organization in a strong position. Roslansky's leadership saw LinkedIn's membership grow from 700 million to 1.3 billion.
This transition comes amid a broader shift at Microsoft, as the company adapts to the rise of generative artificial intelligence. Roslansky's exit follows the departures of other key executives, including Phil Spencer and Rajesh Jha. Nadella highlighted Roslansky's contributions to the Copilot AI platform, which aims to integrate Office applications more effectively.
Looking ahead, Roslansky expressed the need to be present in Redmond full-time to lead future initiatives, but his family remains in the San Francisco Bay Area. No further timeline was disclosed at the time of publication.
