Shoval's messy battle with the board goes publicTensions boiled over in mid-2024 when OpenWeb's board changed Shoval's reporting line, a move he felt breached his contract.
Then the company announced to staffers that Shoval would be replaced with an interim CEO, OpenWeb's former chairman Tim Harvey.
AdvertisementShoval made his dispute with the OpenWeb board public by posting on LinkedIn in October.
His complaint argued that he should be reinstated as CEO and able to appoint two new board directors of his choosing.
Kimberly White/Getty Images for TechCrunchShoval maintains that OpenWeb board meetings and decisions were conducted improperly and that he still has the right to appoint two new board directors of his choosing.
