Albert Penello, the senior marketing director for Microsoft's Xbox division, is leaving Microsoft after nearly twenty years with the company.

Penello made the announcement today on Twitter, remarking "Today is a crazy day."

We spoke to Penello last year about the Xbox One X and its target audience, which Penello emphasized was for the hardcore gamer. Penello joined Microsoft in October 2000 after a six year stint at Electronic Arts, shepherding the Xbox brand from its infancy to modern day.

 

Our Take
Penello didn't say where he's going, but he's definitely earned a good rest. Hopefully he finds success in whatever venture he pursues next.
