Zynga's finance head David Wehner left the company to
join Facebook, leaving a vacancy that was immediately filled by the game
developer by promoting Mark Vranesh to the slot.
Zynga also announced some major movements and
rejigging at the top slots. Chief mobile officer David Ko is now chief
operations officer; executive vice president, business and corporate
development Barry Cottle has been named chief revenue officer; and executive
vice president of games Steven Chiang has moved up to president of games.
The company has been facing a lot of exits earlier
this year ever since its share prices have been on a downward trend. Some of
the high profile exits this year have been chief operating officer John
Schappert, chief creative officer Mike Verdu, chief technology officer Allan
Leinwand, chief marketing officer and chief revenue officer Jeff Karp, and
chief security officer Nils Puhlmann.
Vranesh, who replaced Wehner, had been Zynga Chief
Finance Officer from 2008 to 2010, when he became chief accounting officer.
Before joining Zynga he had been vice-president of
finance and administration and corporate controller at Fortinet Inc.
Zynga's Chief Executive and founder Mark Pincus, told
employees in an email - “Dave provided great leadership to our financial team
over the past two years, helping guide the company’s transition from startup
through IPO,” he wrote of Wehner’s departure. “Dave has been a great partner
for me, the senior team and the whole company. He remains a good friend to us
all and we wish him success in his next endeavour.”
