Flexport Exits Mount as CEO Ryan Petersen Overhauls Tech, Legal and Sales Teams

Ryan Petersen’s clearout of Flexport’s top management is continuing. The company’s top engineering executive and longtime chief legal officer both departed the company this week, according to an internal memo reviewed by The Information. The logistics startup’s Asia sales head has also left the company, the memo said.

The three exits follow an exodus of other senior executives since Petersen, Flexport’s founder, returned to the CEO role last month, ousting former Amazon executive Dave Clark, whom Petersen had handpicked last year to take over the top job. This week’s departures mean that a total of at least 10 executives have left or been fired in the month since Petersen returned as CEO, including many people in Clark’s inner circle.
