Roaring_Twenties 986 Posted February 11 (edited) Has Corey Johnson left team Ripple? If so does anyone have a clue as to why? https://ripple.com/company/leadership/ Thanks to all who quickly responded. It appears he may have simply been there solely for a specific objective and the team feels he’s met that objective and or isn’t able to move the needle any more towards it. Either way the abrupt and seemingly unexpected exit feels a little awkward. Business is often brutal. https://www.theblockcrypto.com/2019/02/11/ripple-the-firm-behind-cryptocurrency-xrp-eliminates-corey-johnsons-role-at-the-firm/ Edited February 12 by Roaring_Twenties Thanking those who quickly replied. 1 hallwaymonitor reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

princesultan 677 Posted February 12 I was never really a huge fan. And if I understand the role correctly (I could be wrong), but he was there to try and change the perception of ripple, which if thats the case, he failed at 3 1 lucky, RobertStrong, PhiGuy and 1 other reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ZerpEnthusiast 115 Posted February 12 I always liked Cory, but I usually came away unimpressed with his knowledge of Ripple's products and XRP in general. Good salesman but I don't think his background matches Ripple's needs. That's just my guess. Wish him the best of luck moving forward. 1 King34Maine reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

peanut56 694 Posted February 12 He seemed more like a salesman. Ripple needs someone who could sway policy makers. 1 King34Maine reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Julian_Williams 6,416 Posted February 12 (edited) Doesn't look good. Cory was developing a high profile as a face of Ripple so for him to go so suddenly after giving up his previous high profile job less than a year ago to join Ripple . Personally I always found him intellectually weak and lightweight but he seemed to be gaining some traction recently and was gradually impressing me a bit more than at first..
