Einer der K\u00f6pfe hinter der Entwicklung des Internet Explorer, Dean Hachamovitch<\/a>, verl\u00e4sst Microsoft nach 24 Jahren Firmenzugeh\u00f6rigkeit.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

In der \u00d6ffentlichkeit war der Havard-Absolvent Hachamovitch selbst nur Insidern bekannt. Dabei trat er durchaus schon mal bei der Vorstellung einer neuen IE-Version an die \u00d6ffentlichkeit.<\/p>\n

Hachamovitch kam 1990 direkt von Havard zu Microsoft und verantwortete lange Zeit als Corporate Vice President die Entwicklung des Internet Explorer. Zuletzt war er Microsofts \"Chief Data Scientist\" \u2013 also nicht mehr an der IE-Weiterentwicklung beteiligt. Scheinbar kommen die Umw\u00e4lzungen, die Microsoft gerade erf\u00e4hrt, nicht bei allen gut an.<\/p>\n

\"I'm overdue for a change. The company really has changed a lot,\" lie\u00df Hachamovitch in einem Gespr\u00e4ch mit GeekWire verlauten, und \"It's a good time to get a different point of view on tech and life.\" Mit anderen Worten: So richtig wohl gef\u00fchlt hat er sich bei Microsoft nicht mehr. So, wie es ausschaut, wechselt Hachamovitch nicht sofort auf einen Leitungsposten bei einem anderen Unternehmen. Vielmehr wird er als Berater f\u00fcr LifeQ<\/a> t\u00e4tig. Die Firma arbeitet auf dem Gebiet digitaler Simulationen der menschlichen Physiologie. Hier bei geekwire.com<\/a> gibt es noch ein paar zus\u00e4tzliche Informationen.<\/p>\n

A former corporate vice president at the company, Hachamovitch is the latest in a series of respected Windows leaders to exit the company, as part of a broader regime change under operating systems chief Terry Myerson, who previously led the Windows Phone group and is leading a revamp of the operating system with the upcoming Windows 10 release.<\/p>\n

Earlier departures included Jon DeVaan<\/a>, the longtime Windows engineering leader; Tami Reller<\/a>, who was the Windows marketing and finance chief before taking a larger marketing position inside the company; and Antoine Leblond<\/a>, a Microsoft exec known for his leadership roles on the Office and Windows teams.<\/p>\n

In college I loved my Mac and had strong feelings about Microsoft Word. Making Word better sounded cool. I got a job offer from the company and thought, 'I'll try this for a year.' \"For years, Internet Explorer suffered from a lack of active development, serving as the bane of web developers and a high-profile target for attacks. \"I want to be clear: We messed up,\" Hachamovitch said at a Microsoft conference in 2006, in a refreshing moment of candor from a Microsoft executive. \"We messed up. As committed as we are to the browser, we just didn't do a good job demonstrating it.\"<\/p>\n

Under his leadership, in the following years, IE went through a series of major upgrades to adopt web standards and become a platform for modern web applications.<\/p>\n

Hachamovitch took on the new role as chief data scientist a little more than a year ago<\/a>. Mary Jo Foley of ZDNet reported in July<\/a> that he was no longer in that companywide position. He originally joined Microsoft out of Harvard to work on Word for Mac.<\/p>\n

\"In college I loved my Mac and had strong feelings about Microsoft Word. Making Word better sounded cool. I got a job offer from the company and thought, 'I'll try this for a year.',\" he writes today in a blog post announcing his decision to leave. \"The opportunity to work with strong people across the industry and to contribute to technology and products that matter has lasted much longer than that.\"<\/p>\n

Microsoft isn't issuing a statement on his departure, but people we spoke with inside the company say Hachamovitch is leaving on good terms.<\/p>\n

During his time leading the IE team, Hachamovitch was known for appearing on stage in shirts created by his team, featuring the Internet Explorer logo as part of a word referencing whichever IE release he was unveiling at the time. His executive assistant, Kelli Marks, continued the tradition for his departure from the company, giving him the \"bye\" shirt above as a gift.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
