The read

Glean lost 51 people in 90 days against 16 joins — a net -35 headcount swing — with senior departures flowing heavily to Cursor (5 people, including two VP-level demand gen and marketing leads), Anthropic (3), and OpenAI (2, including a Head of Customer Marketing). Sales took the largest function hit (16 departures), while operations saw the most hiring activity (14 moves). The company brought in a Field Global CTO and a Solutions Engineering Leader for Canada, LATAM, and Public Sector, suggesting a pivot toward enterprise expansion even as go-to-market leadership exits to better-funded AI tooling competitors.
