Zoom (NASDAQ:ZM) stock is in the news Friday after the company fired its president “without cause.”
President Greg Tomb is no longer with the company after having only joined Zoom in June 2022. Tomb reported directly to founder and CEO Eric Yuan. No reason was given by the company as to why the former Google executive was fired. Adding to this, Zoom said it has no intention of seeking out a replacement for Tomb following his departure.
It could be that Tomb was fired following the company’s slower growth from its latest earnings report, although that’s just speculation. The company’s latest report just came out a few days ago.
