The latest round up of people moves include The Trade Desk, Netflix, Tug Agency and Microsoft.
The Trade Desk’s chief revenue officer, Anders Mortensen, has exited the company after just seven months in the role.
This comes during a turbulent time for the firm, with an ‘exodus’ of executives leaving the organisation – with the appointment of four chief financial officers, and the losses of at least four board members.
This is sparking concern amongst senior executives and shareholders, with the turnover affecting all but COO Vivek Kundra, chief legal officer Jay Grant, and its new CFO Nate Olmstead remain.
