Plaid
Scaling fastPlaid added 89 people over 90 days while 19 departed (net +70), with sales now the fastest-growing function and new hires arriving from Square, Capital One, and Chime. The company elevated two internal leaders to Head of Fraud GTM and Head of Product, Europe, and brought in a Chief Information Security Officer and Head of Brand Marketing. Notable exits include the Head of Corporate Affairs to Cursor and Head of Internal Communications to Midjourney, alongside manager-level departures to Brex and Browserbase—signaling possible turbulence in external affairs even as GTM scales.
