Each week we explore some of the top executive moves across every industry and highlight them here. This week, we look at changes to the leadership team at Etsy, X Corporation, Meta and more.

Etsy

Former eBay executive Josh Silverman will step down as Etsy CEO after eight years, following a tough third-quarter report that sent shares down 5%. Despite beating top and bottom line estimates, Etsy’s gross merchandising sales fell 6.5% year over year, while Depop’s rose 39% to $292 million. Silverman will become executive chairman, with President and Chief of Growth Kruti Patel Goyal set to take over Jan. 1, 2026, as the company doubles down on AI and its “gifting destination” strategy.

X Corporation

John Nitti, X's Advertising Chief with experience at Verizon and American Express, departs after just 10 months, adding to the social media platform’s increasingly turbulent executive suite. His exit follows other high-level departures reflecting growing frustration with Elon Musk's abrupt strategy shifts and unilateral decision-making. The pressure is on X as Musk funnels billions into AI development while some brands complain of feeling forced to advertise. Read More

Meta

In a push toward AI development, Meta Platforms has appointed Vishal Shah, Vice President of Metaverse and former Head of Product Management for Instagram, to lead product management for AI products. The move follows last week’s cut of about 600 roles in its Superintelligence Labs unit as Meta sharpens its focus on advanced AI models. Read More

CBS News

CBS News co-anchor John Dickerson is signing off at year’s end after 15 years with the network, exiting amid growing tension over new leadership’s direction under Bari Weiss. Weiss, a center-right commentator turned CBS News head after the SkydanceParamount deal, has stirred newsroom unease about a possible ideological shift. As Dickerson bows out with trademark integrity, CBS braces for a cutthroat shake-up—and possibly major layoffs ahead. Read More

Chegg

Online homework helper Chegg is slashing 45% of its workforce—338 employees—due to "new realities of AI" and reduced web traffic, expecting savings of up to $110 million. In a leadership shake-up, former Yahoo COO Dan Rosensweig returns as CEO after stepping down in April, replacing his successor immediately. The company continues to grapple with AI's impact, having already cut 22% of its staff in May, even as it plans to remain an independent public company. Read More

Morgan, and Dhivya Suryadevara, who previously held top roles at General Motors and Stripe, will take the reins as co-presidents starting December 1, 2025. Meanwhile, Paul Todd, ex–CFO of Global Payments, steps in as Chief Financial Officer on October 31 as Fiserv sharpens its client-first strategy. Read More
