Pirat_Nation 🔴(@Pirat_Nation):Helen Chiang is leaving Microsoft after more than 20 years, just three months after becoming Xbox’s first Chief Operating Officer. Previously head of Mojang and Minecraft, she was promoted to COO in July with end-to-end responsibility for Xbox’s content, hardware, platform, and services, including their profits and losses. An internal Xbox memo states she left on October 23. Microsoft has given no public reason. The role, created months ago to unify Xbox’s businesses under one operating model and link investment and financial decisions more closely, is already vacant.
