Tom Keane, Microsoft's cloud vice president, is leaving the company after 21 years, Bloomberg reported July 6.
During his time at Microsoft, he oversaw infrastructure for Microsoft's Azure Cloud and helped move Microsoft's cloud computing business into areas like 5G and space.
"What drives me is the ability to build and disrupt. Entrepreneurialism, constant learning and growth have been a theme of my career for the last two decades. Digital disruption, enabled by hyperscale cloud and ubiquitous computing, is only beginning. This digital disruption enables a new class of workloads and scenarios to be built," Mr. Keane wrote on LinkedIn July 6. "Today I am excited to share that I am leaving Microsoft and taking the next step in my career to build on the world's computer. I could not be prouder of the last 21 years and equally excited for my next journey to begin."
Mr. Keane's departure comes after a report in May claimed he had verbally abused staff.
