CTOnews.com, Nov. 8 (Xinhua)-- CEO Lidiane Jones of office collaboration platform Slack, who has managed Slack for only one year, announced today that she will leave, while parent company Salesforce is expected to announce her successor next week.

It is reported that dating app developer Bumble issued a sudden press release today, announcing that Lidiane Jones will "move to the company." CEO Whitney Wolfe Herd will leave this week and Lidiane Jones will take over in January 2024 and will be responsible for pushing Bumble apps to IPO.

▲ Map Source BumbleCTOnews.com learned that Lidiane Jones is the second most senior executive to leave since Salesforce bought Slack for $27.7 billion in mid-2021. Stewart Butterfield, the co-founder of Slack, left office at the beginning of this year and was taken over by Lidiane Jones.

Salesforce announced the acquisition of Slack, prompting investors and employees to question whether the two companies "can match each other." Lidiane Jone's previous task was to ensure the integration of the two companies and to launch a commercially available version of the Slack business.

Foreign media Techcrunch believes that Lidiane Jone's departure seems to be "a bit sudden", while Slack insiders, who spoke on condition of anonymity, said that Salesforce is expected to announce Slack's CEO next week to ensure a smooth integration of Slack and Salesforce, and to launch a series of AI products.
