Microsoft Israel R&D Head Stepping Down After 13-Year Tenure

Michal Braverman-Blumenstyk is stepping down as Microsoft Israel R&D head after 13 years. During her tenure, she expanded the company's cloud and cybersecurity business in the country.

Braverman-Blumenstyk will leave by the end of the year. A successor to lead Microsoft's Israel R&D Center will be announced at a later date.

Much of Braverman-Blumenstyk's focus was on growing the cybersecurity business, which has become one of Microsoft's key growth engines.
