Lazaridis to leave Blackberry as


On the heels of today's earnings release, Blackberry vice chairman Mike Lazaridis announced that he'll leave the company on May 1st. The exec founded the company formerly known as Research in Motion almost 30 years ago, with Jim Balsillie as its early CEO -- who resigned this time last year himself and recently sold off his remaining shares. Lazaridis said that he'll focus instead on his new Quantum Valley Investments venture, which recently backed a research center in his home town of Waterloo, Ontario.

Hulu CEO Jason Kilar announces resignation, will leave company in Q1

Hulu CEO Jason Kilar announces resignation


Some big news out of Hulu late this afternoon: CEO Jason Kilar has just announced that he will be leaving the company sometime in the first quarter of this year. The news was first reported by Bloomberg News and followed quickly by a blog post from Kilar himself containing the email he sent to his staff. In it, Kilar says that he is now working with the company's board to manage the transition, and also confirms that Senior Vice President and CTO Richard Tom will be leaving along with him. He didn't exactly delve into the reasons for his resignation, though, saying only that the decision has been "one of the toughest I've ever made," and adding that he'll keep the team updated as "dates and other items get solidified."

Steven Sinofsky, head of Windows, to leave Microsoft immediately

Steven Sinofsky, head of Windows, leaving Microsoft immediatelySinofsky signs off

Microsoft announced Monday that Steve Sinofsky, president of Windows and Windows Live, will leave the company effective immediately.

"It is impossible to count the blessings I have received over my years at Microsoft," Sinofsky said in a Microsoft News Center announcement.

"I am humbled by the professionalism and generosity of everyone I have had the good fortune to work with at this awesome company."

Julie Larson-Green, corporate vice president, program management, Windows client, will become head of all Windows software and hardware engineering, while Tami Reller will stay on as chief financial officer and chief marketing officer while taking on the responsibility for the business and marketing of Windows.

Sinofsky's departure is reportedly mutual, though in the announcement CEO Steve Ballmer said that in order for Microsoft to continue to be successful, "it is imperative that we continue to drive alignment across all Microsoft teams, and have more integrated and rapid development cycles for our offerings."

Sinofsky recently led the official launch of Windows 8, which Microsoft executives called the most ambitious project undertaken by Microsoft since Windows 95, and the Surface tablet.

He has been with Microsoft since 1989, when he became a software development engineer.

TechRadar asked Microsoft for comment and will update this story if and when the company responds.
