Sonos continues to clean house as the company recovers from the hits it took after a mobile app again last year. Just one day after CEO Patrick Spence the company’s chief product officer Maxime Bouvat-Merlin is also leaving. He will act as an advisor to interim CEO Tom Conrad during the leadership transition before fully exiting Sonos.
Conrad Sonos employees about the latest leadership change in a company-wide email today. The CPO role has been made redundant, with Sonos’ product team reporting directly to Conrad for now.
Sonos has been in a tailspin since it released an update to its mobile app in May that was riddled with bugs and missing key features. The company’s financial results took a dive, and it stopped in August. Sonos goes to great lengths to retain customers in this to recover from the app’s launch, and the decision to replace top management appears to be the latest step to regain public confidence in the business.
