In an internal email to Microsoft, Mr. Kipman said that he was leaving the company to “pursue other opportunities.” 

During his time at the company, Mr. Kipman was in charge of developing the HoloLens, an augmented-reality headset that projects digital objects into the real world. 

His departure comes as Rajesh Jha, executive vice president in charge of Microsoft Office and Windows, told employees to be more cautious when it comes to opening up new roles at the company.

At the Becker's 11th Annual IT + Revenue Cycle Conference: The Future of AI & Digital Health, taking place September 14–17 in Chicago, healthcare executives and digital leaders from across the country will come together to explore how AI, interoperability, cybersecurity, and revenue cycle innovation are transforming care delivery, strengthening financial performance, and driving the next era of digital health.
