Google's chief diversity officer is leaving the company following a string of controversies

Following a year full of controversy — including the Google Walkout, where employees protested the company's handling of sexual misconduct allegations — Google is shaking up its diversity and inclusion team.

Google's chief diversity officer, Danielle Brown, is leaving the company, the company confirmed Thursday to Business Insider. She'll be replaced by Melonie Parker, who had served as Google's global head of diversity, equity, and inclusion for the last 9 months. "We're grateful to Danielle for her excellent work over the past two years to improve representation in Google's workforce and ensure an inclusive culture for everyone," Eileen Naughton, Google's head of people operations, said in a statement to Business Insider."We're deeply committed to this work and have made progress, but there's more we need to do."

Brown wrote in a LinkedIn post she'll be joining on as chief people officer at Gusto, a startup that provides human resources software to businesses.Brown joined on at Google as vice president of employee engagement and head of diversity in June 2017. In the two years since Brown took charge of Google's diversity efforts, the company has faced a barrage of scandals and controversies.

No mention of her affair with CEO Brian at her ex employer - which got her from being a no-one to becoming VP reporting directly to him. It's common knowledge.
