Leadership Shake-Up: Bumble Founder Steps Down, Slack CEO Takes Over

Slack's current CEO, Lidiane Jones, is leaving the company at the end of the year to become the CEO of Bumble. Salesforce CEO Marc Benioff announced in a leaked message that a new CEO for Slack will be named next week. Jones took over as CEO in January, succeeding Slack co-founder Stewart Butterfield. The acquisition of Slack by Salesforce for over $27 billion has faced criticism, with activist investors pushing for cost-cutting measures. Jones, who previously held executive roles at Salesforce, will start her new role at Bumble on January 2.
