Airtable
Airtable, an enterprise software company, this month announced layoffs impacting 20% of its workforce or 254 employees.
In a blog, Howie Liu, Airtable’s co-founder and CEO, detailed the layoffs as part of a “major” evolution for Airtable.
In May, Zoom vet Laura Padilla joined Airtable as vice president of partners. Airtable hired her to formalize its channel strategy and partner program. Airtable isn’t saying whether she’s among those impacted by the layoffs. Her LInkedIn profile still lists her in that position.
Airtable’s chief revenue officer, Seth Shaw, chief people officer, Johanna Jackman. and chief product officer, Peter Deng, also departed the company.
“Today we’re announcing a major evolution for Airtable: taking us from our roots as a primarily bottoms-up adopted product serving teams at organizations of many sizes, to a company that is focused on bringing connected apps to large enterprises,” Liu said. “With this new focus, we’ve made the difficult choice to reduce our team by 254 people and evolve our organizational structure. These steps are not a reflection of this team’s important work in building Airtable to date, but about what our organization needs going forward.”
