Flexport CEO Dave Clark is resigning from the supply chain software startup and handing the reins over to founder and executive chair Ryan Petersen after one year in the role — and after just six months of helming the company solo.
As such, I will be resigning from my position at Flexport."
Clark and Petersen had been co-CEOs of Flexport beginning last September, and Clark took over as the company's sole CEO in March.
Flexport announced last June that Petersen would step down in March 2023 as CEO and turn the position over to Clark, while transitioning into the role of executive chair.
In July, Flexport said Petersen would join Founders Fund, the venture capital fund founded by billionaire Peter Thiel.
