Microsoft's Visual Studio Team System development head Rick LaPlante has resigned after an 18-year career at Microsoft, a company spokeswoman confirmed Tuesday.
Taking over from him as general manager of VSTS will be outside hire Andrew Kass, who most recently served as senior vice president of product development at S1, an Atlanta-based financial industry enterprise applications maker.
LaPlante, currently on an extended vacation, is leaving to pursue personal interests, according to Microsoft. When he returns, he will spend several months working on the VSTS transition with Kass, who starts his new job in June.
