Automattic loses interim CFO weeks after boardroom shakeup

Jeremy Klaperman has left his role as Automattic's interim CFO less than a month after taking the job. He was demoted back to his previous position at the VIP Enterprise unit following the governance crisis that wiped out the company's board.

• Klaperman became interim CFO in September after Mark Davies left
• Automattic's entire board quit or was fired within 33 hours
• A new board was announced in late September, including author Hugh Howey
• The company did not comment on the reason for his departure
