Microsoft chief diversity officer Lindsay-Rae McIntyre will leave at the end of March as the company reshuffles its HR organization as part of an “AI-powered transformation.”
Microsoft executive vice president and chief people officer Amy Coleman said in an internal memo that McIntyre will become chief people officer at another organization next month, and a Microsoft spokesperson confirmed the memo’s authenticity.
Coleman wrote that Microsoft is undergoing an “AI-powered transformation,” without detailing what that means for HR, and said engineering HR teams will be combined under corporate vice president Mel Simpson.
The memo also said Microsoft plans to hire a leader for talent acquisition, will move people analytics into the employee experience unit, and will keep culture and inclusion led by general manager Diana Navas-Rosette.
