3 Better.com executives resign after CEO lays off 900 over Zoom
Three of the companies top communications executives — Tanya Gillogley, head of public relations, Melanie Hahn, head of public relations, and Patrick Lenihan, VP of communications — all resigned, according to multiple media reports.
According to LinkedIn, Hahn started at Better.com in 2018. Gillogley joined in January 2019, and Lenihan started in November 2020.
Since the call last week, Better.com and Garg have received widespread public backlash for the timing and the handling of the layoffs.
“I failed to show the appropriate amount of respect and appreciation for the individuals who were affected and for their contributions to Better,” the letter reads.”I own the decision to do the layoffs, but in communicating it I blundered the execution. In doing so, I embarrassed you.”
