The read

Notion contracted sharply over 90 days, down 36 net with 49 departures against just 13 hires. Five VP-level leaders exited, including heads of AI Solutions, Business Technology (to Plaud), Events/Field Marketing (to Fireworks AI), and Total Rewards (to Lovable); a Strategy & Operations VP moved to Decagon. OpenAI pulled four departures, with Anthropic and Fireworks each taking talent—a clear flow toward frontier AI shops. Incoming VPs centered on enterprise GTM (Americas GM, Strategic Enterprise GTM) and infrastructure, suggesting a pivot to larger accounts and operational rigor even as the org contracts.
