Marketing has not done much over the last couple of years. CMO was part of the legacy HS ex CFO who blew up marketing org to over 100 with no real results.
Glad to see CEO and the new CHRO observing the true contribution in the organisation.

Sales layoffs will be end of Sept. Save best until last… cleanse that org once and for all
Whether you’re in marketing or not, no role is safe moving forward. They will be coming for you next, regardless of performance or how important you think you are.
@kj for now. Hoping more cut to that org as can certainly leverage AI on that entire team.
Monday can’t come soon enough…
Is it just the CMO who got let go? Or were there further cuts in the marketing team?
Not gonna miss a beat with CMO gone. Team with bunch of titles working 5hr/wk
Spent over 4-5m on those d-mb videos and stickers around the office - waste of people there & not just the fact
@ec The thing is, engineering got cut before them. My team was doing fine, I worked on something which was ahead of schedule, and it was close to finishing, but unfortunately still got hit.
@ec funny you said it. Always calling from home or off cam. Must be nice while everyone else in the office.
New ELT no joke - HR and Marketing due for some serious seasonal clean up.
Co-heads of growth realised pretty quickly that there wasn’t much coming from that team especially JB. All of them were protected by ex CFO.
The era of DE&I and BRGs are over. Time to do more with less, rather than having 100 marketing staff on every call or event.
We need more in products and engineering than teams like this and HR org
Jenifer Brooks gone at end of August.
CMO gone? teams show available??
@dv did you you know that grapes are slightly magnetic? Bahaha
@bd Award Winning - Exit door.
@ds cannot agree more. always ten of them on each call - the ones in europe contribute zero except if they get a chance to go and hang in the USA.
Cut half that team.
@dr Yes for failure in marketing. Look at that team. overstaffed
@b3 JB is out?
Don't you mean former AWARD WINNING CMO?
FOCUS was a proper failure. Surprised it took this long tbh.
We can’t even get the spelling right in our comms emails. Half the time there are typos, or we’ve got different fonts in different sections. It’s a bit of a shambles really.
CMO got axed. Not a surprise
99.9% of that team is WFH - party is over. AI that whole org
@a3 Blonk and you'll miss it.
What happened?
