Some context from the article:
<quote>
Korologos' decision was prompted by increasing demands on her time from
other professional and personal commitments. She is completing her seventh
year on the Microsoft board, having joined the group in January 2000.
[...]
"I have thoroughly enjoyed my tenure on the board of this worldwide, highly
respected company; however, new responsibilities and opportunities force me
reluctantly not to seek re-election," Korologos said.
</quote>
Of course, professional courtesy sort of "forces" her to leave
gracefully, but the unnescessary compliment "highly respected company" leads
me to believe that her motivations aren't what "jumps ship" would imply.
