Microsoft's corporate venturing arm has hired Priyanka Mitra, who had previously logged time in CVC at Kaiser Permanente.

Priyanka Mitra (pictured) has joined M12, the corporate venture capital subsidiary of US-listed software provider Microsoft, following turnover in its team.

Mitra had previously been at venture capital firm Tola Capital since November 2018 after nearly two years working in corporate venturing as an associate at Kaiser Permanente, the largest integrated healthcare provider in the US.

The move follows the recent departures from M12 of Rashmi Gopinath and Ronan Kennedy to BCG-backed venture capital firm B Capital Group, in addition to that of managing director Lisa Nelson, a founding member of its team.
