Bill Gates is the founder of Microsoft and has been working for it for more than 40 years.
On 13th March 2020, Microsoft announced that Bill Gates will be stepping down from the board of Microsoft.
Bill Gates confirmed the decision through a LinkedIn post.
He said that the leadership at the company has never been stronger and the time is right to step down.
So that he can focus on philanthropic activities such as global health and development, education, climate change, etc.
Even though he is stepping down he will continue to be an advisor.
Gates will also be leaving the board of Warren Buffett's company named Berkshire Hathaway, due to the same reasons.
