Each week we explore some of the top executive moves across every industry and highlight them here. This week, we look at changes to the leadership team at Uber, Airbnb, Microsoft and more.

Uber

Uber’s longtime exec Pierre-Dimitri Gore-Coty is stepping out after nearly 13 years, most recently leading Uber’s Delivery business—including Uber Eats, now 95M users strong and the top delivery app. Andrew Macdonald, who joined just months earlier, takes the wheel as COO, overseeing Mobility, Delivery, Autonomous, and more. The shuffle comes as Uber preps to test driverless robotaxis in London next spring with AI partner Wayve—no safety drivers, just the fast lane to the future. Read More

Airbnb

Airbnb has appointed Rebecca Van Dyck as its new CMO, as Hiroki Asai transitions to the newly created role of Chief Experience Officer. Van Dyck, a seasoned marketing leader with past CMO roles at Meta and Levi’s, will oversee marketing, research, and creative. Asai, Airbnb’s top marketer since 2020, will now focus on the broader product roadmap as the company expands beyond home rentals into services and experiences. Read More

Microsoft

LinkedIn CEO Ryan Roslansky is doubling up—he’s now also in charge of Microsoft’s Office apps, taking the reins on Word, Excel, Outlook, and Copilot while still steering the LinkedIn ship. It’s a strategic “power move” to connect the dots between Microsoft’s biggest platforms and accelerate its AI ambitions. With two desks and one vision, Roslansky is set to write a new chapter for productivity. Read More

Tesla

Tesla’s Optimus robotics lead Milan Kovac is out, citing family time—though his exit follows political backlash, including a French lawsuit over Elon Musk’s far-right leanings and a public Musk-Trump dumpster fire. Kovac insists his support for Musk is “ironclad,” while Musk softens his tone on Trump, admitting he “went too far.” Meanwhile, Tesla targets a June 22 launch for its robotaxi service in Austin.

Unity

Unity’s CTO Steve Collins is logging off after just six months—citing “personal reasons,” though the timing is raising eyebrows. Previously the CTO at Candy Crush maker King, Collins joins the parade of Unity execs exiting amid a rough patch of pricing backlash from developers, layoffs, and a CEO shakeup. Unity says it’s unrelated to past drama, but the trust meter isn’t exactly resetting. Read More

Paramount

Paramount’s CFO Naveen Chopra is logging off and jumping into the Roblox universe as its next finance chief, just as the gaming giant ramps up ad efforts and doubles down on Gen Z engagement. His departure comes mid-merger for Paramount, which is navigating an $8.4B tie-up with Skydance, leaving interim CFO Andrew Warren to steer the ship. Read More

Nike

Nike has tapped Michael Gonda as its new EVP and Chief Communications Officer, starting July 7. Gonda, formerly Chief Impact Officer at McDonald’s, will lead global communications strategy, brand storytelling, and employee engagement. His appointment follows a broader leadership shake-up as Nike restructures to reinvigorate growth after sluggish sales. Read More

WPP

With WPP CEO Mark Read stepping down after three decades—seven of them at the helm—the advertising giant enters a pivotal transition. His departure follows a string of high-profile exits across Madison Avenue, as agencies scramble to evolve beyond big-brand TV spots into AI-fueled, data-driven consulting hubs. As revenues slip and Big Tech tightens its grip on ad dollars, WPP faces a rewrite that’s anything but business as usual. Read More

LogicMonitor

LogicMonitor is now doubling down with a fresh boost: the appointment of former AWS and Microsoft exec Garth Fort as Chief Product Officer. The move comes just as the company crosses $300 million in ARR, with 80% of that coming from customers shelling out $100K or more. Read More

Kaseya

Rania Succar takes the helm as CEO of Kaseya, just as the IT and security platform pushes into its next growth phase. A seasoned operator with stints at Intuit,Google, and McKinsey, Succar steps in with a track record of scaling businesses through innovation and customer-centric strategy. With fresh leadership in place, Kaseya is betting on platform depth and vision to lead the next chapter in enterprise IT management. Read More
