New York: Microsoft's Chief Financial Officer Chris Liddell is to leave the company at the end of the year, indicating that he is looking for a bigger job at another company. According to Microsoft, he is now "looking at a number of opportunities that will expand his career beyond being a CFO."
Liddell has been the CFO at the software company since May 2005, after joining from paper and packaging maker International Paper, where he was also CFO. Before coming to the U.S., Liddell was the CEO of New Zealand forest products company Carter Holt Harvey, and also worked as an Investment Banker. He holds a Master's degree in Philosophy and does triathlons in his spare time.
Liddell will be succeeded as Microsoft CFO by Peter Klein, who is currently the CFO of Microsoft's Business Division, which makes the highly profitable Office suite of programs.
Microsoft shares fell 21 cents in after-hours trading to $29.74.
