Microsoft Fires CIO Stuart Scott
Microsoft says dismissal of its CIO comes after internal investigation, but declines to disclose further details. Two interim replacements named until company appoints a successor.
November 06, 2007 — IDG News Service (Seattle Bureau) — Microsoft fired CIO Stuart Scott, the company confirmed on Tuesday.
Microsoft would not share details beyond saying that Scott was let go after an investigation for violation of company policies. The company updated its online profile of Scott to explain that he is no longer employed at Microsoft as of early November.
Until a replacement for Scott is found, Shahla Aly, a general manager, and Alain Crozier, a corporate vice president, will take over his responsibilities, Microsoft said.
Scott joined Microsoft in July 2005 after spending 17 years at General Electric, where he also served as CIO. At Microsoft, he reported to Kevin Turner, chief operating officer.
Scott was initially hired in a somewhat novel arrangement: He shared the role of CIO with Ron Markezich. However, Markezich has since dropped his CIO title and taken on the position of vice president of managed solutions at Microsoft.
