The Trade Desk Cuts About 15% of Workforce, Books Severance Charges
The Trade Desk will eliminate about 15% of its workforce, expecting $39 million to $51 million in severance and benefit charges, partly offset by reversing stock-based compensation. CEO Jeff Green told employees the cuts will be swift, with transition packages offered to departing staff. The restructuring follows leadership turbulence, including the January termination of CFO Alexander Kayyal.
