Perplexity
Scaling fastPerplexity posted a net decline of 9 heads over 90 days as it appears to wind down a campus-partner initiative—four partner-level departures to destinations including Salesforce and Michigan State University—while simultaneously building out enterprise and legal infrastructure. Inbound moves include VP-level hires for enterprise business, engineering, and infrastructure accounting, plus two director-level legal roles, signaling a pivot toward commercial scale and IP protection. Sales is the fastest-growing function, and the company is drawing talent from Zuora (two hires), Pinterest, and Ramp, suggesting a shift from grassroots user acquisition to monetization and B2B expansion.
