Microsoft Board in 20′ Thought Gates Should Resign over Relationship with Staffer

Microsoft Corp. board members decided that Bill Gates needed to step down in 2020 as they pursued an investigation into the billionaire’s prior romantic relationship with a female Microsoft employee that was deemed inappropriate, people familiar with the matter told The Wall Street Journal.

Gates’s spokeswoman said the decision to leave the board in 2020 was not related to the issue.

In late 2019, some of Microsoft’s board members hired a law firm to investigate an alleged sexual relationship occurring over a number of years between Gates and a Microsoft engineer. The employee made the allegation in a letter, the people said.

During the probe, some board members decided it was no longer suitable for Gates to sit as a director at the software company.

Gates resigned before the board’s investigation was completed and before the full board could make a formal decision on the matter, the Journal reported.
