The read

Retool posted a net loss of 21 people over 90 days, with 35 departures outpacing 14 arrivals. The steepest outflows ran to AI-native developer platforms — 7 to Cursor, 4 to Replit — including VP-level leadership in solutions engineering and product design. The company is backfilling with senior go-to-market roles: a VP of Sales for North America, an interim CMO, and a VP of Go-To-Market Programs all joined in the window. Engineering and operations tied for the most activity at 10 moves each, while leadership emerged as the fastest-growing function.
