Melinda Gates, the wife of Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates, will resign from the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation’s leadership after two years if she or Bill Gates can’t work together, the foundation said Wednesday.
The announcement comes two months after the couple simultaneously announced they would be getting a divorce after 27 years of marriage. And the statement from the Gates Foundation, one of the largest in the world, is the first time it touched on how it would operate following the high-profile couple’s eventual split.
