Spotify's chief financial officer will step down next year, according to the music streaming service, just days after it announced its third round of layoffs for 2023.
In a statement announcing CFO Paul Vogel's departure, CEO Daniel Ek said that the two had come to the conclusion that Spotify is entering a new phase and needs a CFO with a different mix of experiences.
Spotify said this week that it would be axing 17 per cent of its global workforce, citing the need to slash costs and become profitable. About 1,500 people will lose their jobs, a spokesperson confirmed.
Shortly after the layoffs were announced Monday, Spotify's stock jumped about 8 per cent. On Tuesday, Vogel moved to sell more than USD 9.3 million worth of shares, according to securities filings.
Two other senior executives also cashed in over USD 1.6 million in shares, The Guardian reported.
The Associated Press reached out to Spotify for further comment on Friday.
Vogel will leave Spotify on March 31. Ben Kung,
