Melinda French Gates Resigns From Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation
Melinda French Gates has announced her resignation from Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation. Melinda stated on her X account that the 7th of June will be her last day of work as co-chair of the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation one of the world’s biggest private charitable foundations that she co-founded with her former spouse more than 20 years ago.
Melinda leaves $12.5 billion for the foundation to benefit women and families, assuring that the organization would be in the competent leadership of Mark Suzma, CEO of the Melinda Gates Foundation, the Executive Leadership Team, and an experienced Board of Trustees.
Bill and Melinda Gates filed for divorce in 2021 after 27 years of marriage but had pledged to continue their philanthropic work together.
The Gateses said in 2021 that they had reached an agreement on how to divide their marital assets, but no details of that agreement were disclosed in the final divorce order filed in court.
“I am sorry to see Melinda leave, but I am sure she will have a huge impact in her future philanthropic work,” Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates said in a post on X.
The foundation is one of the most powerful and influential forces in global public health, having spent more than $50 billion over the past two decades to bring a business approach to combating poverty and disease.
