CFO Brian Roberts has left NFT trading platform OpenSea. A few days before his departure, Vice President of Business Development Ryan Footy also announced his resignation.
Brian Roberts was with the company for 10 months and reportedly left his position due to a prolonged market crisis. He did not voice the exact reason for leaving, but only stated that he would continue to help the site team as an adviser.
Roberts was one of the so-called technology industry veterans who moved from Web2 to Web3 and marked the beginning of the industry’s rapid rise and prosperity. Prior to OpenSea, he worked for Lyft, an Uber-like company, for seven years. At OpenSea, he was responsible for the development of the finance division.
Roberts said he worked with Justin Jow, VP of strategic finance at OpenSea, who could possibly take his place. Days before Roberts’ departure, Ryan Foutty, vice president of business development, who had been with the company for 18 months, also announced his resignation.
In June, OpenSea CEO Devin Finzer said the company needs to adapt to current market conditions and is laying off 20% of its staff.
