Alex Kipman, an executive at Microsoft Corp’s (NASDAQ: MSFT) HoloLens, is leaving the company after being accused of inappropriate behavior by fellow employees.
Kipman, who has been with Microsoft since 2001, was accused of misconduct toward female employees, according to a report published last month.
Microsoft said Kipman is leaving the company to “pursue other interests.”
HoloLens is an augmented reality headset, an important tool for metaverse, that overlays digital information on top of the real world.
The company said it has made organizational changes “to further align Microsoft's work on the Metaverse going forward.”
Microsoft said that the Mixed Reality Hardware (IVAS and HoloLens) teams will join the Windows and Devices organization while the Mixed Reality Presence and Collaboration teams will join the Teams organization.
Kipman will spend the next two months helping with the transition, the company said.
