Chris Reinke was head of the LMP1 program for Audi until March 1 this year and is now head of Audi Sport Customer Racing. Leena will apparently be doing something similar at Bentley after Le Mans.
I've known that Leena might be leaving Audi for some other program since very late last year, and she's not leaving for performance reasons. It's personal reasons, namely that she might be spending a lot more time close to her home in the UK. I think that the motorsports grind and her being in her mid 30s and wanting to have a family life has gotten to her. It's not easier for race engineers than it is for drivers.
We also have to remember that one of TMG's engineers has scaled back his involvement for much the same reasons.
