Expion360 (NASDAQ:XPON) stock is falling on Tuesday as investors react to changes in leadership at the lithium-ion battery company.

The first big change is Brian Schaffner taking over as the CEO of the company. This has him replacing former CEO and co-founder John Yozamp. However, John Yozamp is sticking around in the newly-created Chief Business Development Officer position.

In addition to this, the company has announced that Chief Accounting Officer Greg Aydelott has been promoted to the CFO position. Also, co-founder Paul Shoun is now acting as the President of the company, as well as retaining his Director and COO positions.
