Vercel
Scaling fastVercel lost five VP-level leaders in 90 days, with heads of product narrative and community platforms departing to Anthropic and OpenAI respectively, while a founding partner growth lead moved to MUI. The company simultaneously brought in new VPs across EMEA, security, finance, and a Field CTO, signaling a shift toward enterprise go-to-market and operational maturity. Six engineers left for Cursor, with Anthropic absorbing four total departures—a notable bleed to AI-native tooling competitors. Net headcount grew by 27, concentrated in engineering, suggesting Vercel is scaling product build despite leadership churn at the narrative and community layer.
