Alphabet’s top lawyer is leaving with no exit package in the wake of several sex scandals

David Drummond, Alphabet’s chief legal officer and one of the longest serving and highest tenure Google employees, is leaving the company at the end of the month, according to Forbes.

Drummond has been at the center of a number of high-profile sexual misconduct controversies at the search giant related to his relationships with employees, most notably Drummond’s 2007 affair with former Google lawyer Jennifer Blakely, who reported to Drummond at the time.

Drummond was most recently one of several executives at the center of an internal investigation regarding Google’s handling of sexual harassment and misconduct, including the $90 million exit package given to disgraced Android co-founder Andy Rubin following Rubin’s own credible allegations of sexual misconduct. According to Forbes, Drummond will not be receiving an exit package.

It is unclear if his leaving the company is related to the investigation’s findings, but Drummond is reportedly leaving the company of his own volition. “With Larry and Sergey now leaving their executive roles at Alphabet, the company is entering an exciting new phase, and I believe that it’s also the right time for me to make way for the next generation of leaders,” Drummond told employees in an internal memo provided to Forbes by Alphabet. “As a result, after careful consideration, I have decided to retire at the end of this month.”
