Reluctantly decided to leave due to frustration of upper management
His retirement was announced prior to the layoffs, at least a month or more before. This is not new news.

Wow, and no internal announcement!
Rice saying that he was sorry to see Donovan leave tells you that he was not aligned with Stankey, since it is well known that Donovan left due to a showdown with Stankey.
So are cloud and sdn projects slowing now, or is it still full steam ahead?
Thanks for the two month old information.
GOING DOWN DOWN DOWN THE RING OF FIRE 🔥
After a 25-year career, Chris Rice left his position at AT&T at the end of July. Rice played a key role in AT&T's software-defined networking (SDN), virtualization and cloud efforts over the years, and was the telco's point man for various open source efforts as well a keynote speaker at industry conferences.
Rice, who started at AT&T in 1995, was senior vice president of network infrastructure and cloud prior to his decision to move on to new horizons. Ryan Van Wyk was named vice president of AT&T's cloud platforms, and, like Rice, reports to AT&T CTO Andre Fuetsch.
Rice said he left AT&T to pursue new opportunities across SDN, automation and cloudification. While he said he was sorry to see AT&T Communications CEO John Donovan, who was the pioneer of AT&T's Domain 2.0 effort, leave the company in October, it wasn't a factor for his own departure.
