The Trade Desk Inc. (NASDAQ:TTD) shares are trending on Wednesday.
Shares of the cloud-based demand-side platform recovered 3.38% to $21.40 in after-hours trading on Tuesday after a regular session drop of 6.80% amid a cascading leadership exodus that now spans four key figures.
Executive Departures
According to an Adweek Tuesday report, three senior executives are exiting simultaneously. Adweek stated CMO Ian Colley is exiting after seven years, telling the outlet he is departing “to pursue an exciting new opportunity.” He will be replaced by internal marketer Anna Sayre.
Australian publication B&T reported that communications executive Melinda Zurich and senior vice president of consumer products Matthew Henick are also leaving with Colley.
These exits follow board director Lise J. Buyer‘s resignation, effective Apr. 3.
Publicis Fallout Strikes TTD’s Core Trust Narrative
These exits come after Paris-based Publicis Groupe advised clients to halt spending on TTD’s demand-side platform following a third-party audit that raised concerns over fee practices, markups and transparency.
The Trade Desk disputed the findings, with CEO Jeff Green writing in a LinkedIn post, “TTD has not ‘failed’ any audit ever.”
