If you are a fan of the Xbox, you have likely heard of Marc Whitten at some point as he has been around with Microsoft dating back to before the launch of the original Xbox. As the Chief Product Officer Xbox, he has played a major role over the years, but has now announced that he is leaving Microsoft to take the same position at the home audio company Sonos.
I have had the extreme pleasure over the last 14 years to work on the greatest product with the greatest team and for the greatest community. Xbox is so special because of the amazing team I’ve had the opportunity to work with and because our fans are the most incredible fans on the planet. It has been the highlight of my career to work on a product so loved. It’s incredibly tough to leave but I am confident the best days are ahead for Xbox fans, in the capable hands of a very talented team.
While Whitten is leaving, the rest of the Xbox team will still remain in tact.
