Hiring steadilyCFO and Chief Architect departed in a 90-day span that saw 29 exits against just 4 hires, signaling cost discipline or restructuring. Despite the contraction, sales emerged as the sole growing function—new hires include two entry-level Sales Development Representatives focused on Data Licensing & AI, reflecting a pivot toward AI-driven revenue streams. The 18 promotions (engineering managers ascending to senior roles, client partners shifting to account management in EMEA) suggest retention investment in core talent even as the company rightsizes.
