XBOX COO Helen Chiang Departs Microsoft After 21 Years

Helen Chiang, the first XBOX Chief Operating Officer, is leaving Microsoft after 21 years, following a three-month tenure in her newly created role. This news was first reported by Tom Warren of The Verge. This is the latest shake-up from Microsoft’s gaming Wing in a year that has seen the company refocus and restructure ahead of the launch of next-generation XBOX hardware, codenamed Project Helix. Asha Sharma officially announced the news in an internal memo that The Verge obtained. In the brief memo, Sharma wishes Chiang well and says other XBOX leaders will split her responsibilities for the time being.
