Bill Gates Quits Microsoft Board Amid Divorce
Co-founder and CEO of Microsoft William Henry Gates III have been advised by Microsoft Corp. board members to step down from its board after an investigation led into the billionaire’s prior romantic relationship with a female Microsoft employee that was deemed inappropriate. Some Microsoft directors began an investigation in 2019 into woman’s allegations of prior sexual relationship with Bill Gates. During the probe, some board members decided it was no longer suitable for Mr Gates to sit as a director at the software company he started and led for decades, the people said.
