Former Microsoft Windows boss Steven Sinofsky is leaving corporate life
behind – at least for a while – for a new gig teaching product development
at Harvard Business School.
The former exec, who stepped down from his position at Microsoft in
November, dished the news in a Twitter post on Wednesday, in which he
described his move to Harvard as a "sabbatical."
This won't be Sinofsky's first time on the campus. He also spent time at
Harvard in 1998 as a "visiting scholar," a period he also described as a
sabbatical. At the time, he had already been working at Microsoft for nine
years.
According to other Sinofsky tweets, he will be teaching this time, and
although he's not entirely sure what his subjects will be yet, he expects
his classroom to involve "product dev, planning, collaboration, and more."
His position will be classified as an "Executive in Residence," Sinofsky
said, and he will be "on call" while writing and researching, adding, "Can't
wait to learn from students!!"
