Sure, however CEOs? That’s sophisticated) • TechCrunch

There’s nobody who is aware of an organization’s interior workings like a chief monetary officer. So, when three high-profile CFOs depart their jobs at richly valued, late-stage startups in fast succession, we discover it.

This week, OpenSea CFO Brian Roberts left the web3 firm less than a year after taking the job. Days later, Brex CFO Adam Swiecicki left the expense administration firm to affix Rippling, one other firm that not too long ago expanded into the expense administration house. The shuffle got here on the heels of Brex asserting it had to slash 11% of staff. (Its former CFO, who stepped down so Swiecicki might take the helm, is again in his unique place).

However that’s not all. Noom, a weight-reduction plan and well being teaching platform, confirmed that its CFO, Mike Noonan, is leaving the job two years after joining, hours earlier than TechCrunch realized that the corporate was executing a spherical of layoffs.

Whereas the CFO departures are reportedly unrelated to the layoffs, is something ever that straightforward? In spite of everything, layoffs had been a results of needing to strengthen financials forward of an unsure market, fairly actually the job of a chief monetary officer.
