Automattic has confirmed that interim CFO Jeremy Klaperman has left the company, roughly three weeks after taking the role. Klaperman had previously served as CFO of Automattic's VIP Enterprise unit and stepped into the interim finance chief role following a governance crisis in which the entire board exited. No permanent CFO replacement has been named.
Automattic has appointed Jeremy Klaperman, CFO of its WordPress VIP Enterprise unit, as interim Chief Financial Officer following the departure of former CFO Mark Davies. The move comes after a failed attempt to remove CEO Matt Mullenweg last week, which led to the exit of several board members and executives, including Davies and Chief Legal Officer Andy Missan. Mullenweg also said a new Chief Legal Officer candidate has verbally accepted the role, while the board still must formally evaluate CFO candidates.
