Automattic loses interim CFO Jeremy Klaperman after boardroom shakeup
Automattic’s interim chief financial officer, Jeremy Klaperman, has departed the company less than a month after stepping into the role. Sources indicate his exit followed a demotion back to his previous position as CFO of the VIP Enterprise business unit. This departure adds to ongoing leadership turmoil at the WordPress.com parent company. The governance crisis follows a tumultuous period that included a failed attempt by the board to oust CEO Matt Mullenweg, leading to a complete overhaul of the company's board of directors.
