Roaring_Twenties 3,696 Posted February 11, 2019 Share Posted February 11, 2019 (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, 2019 by Roaring_Twenties Thanking those who quickly replied. hallwaymonitor 1 Link to post Share on other sites

lucky 6,311 Posted February 11, 2019 Share Posted February 11, 2019 Cory being "Chief Market Strategist" always seemed a bit odd to me... OzAlphaWolf, quetzalcoatl, xrpmommy and 5 others 6 2 Link to post Share on other sites
princesultan 816 Posted February 12, 2019 Share Posted February 12, 2019 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 lucky, King34Maine and RobertStrong 2 1 Link to post Share on other sites
ZerpEnthusiast 115 Posted February 12, 2019 Share Posted February 12, 2019 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. King34Maine 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Live4xrp 1,898 Posted February 12, 2019 Share Posted February 12, 2019 Fascinating moment! at mark 20:48...Why did Brad first looked at Gottfried for 1sec, before answering the clear question?...

peanut56 1,317 Posted February 12, 2019 Share Posted February 12, 2019 He seemed more like a salesman. Ripple needs someone who could sway policy makers. King34Maine 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Julian_Williams 12,804 Posted February 12, 2019 Share Posted February 12, 2019 (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..

Guest Posted February 12, 2019 Share Posted February 12, 2019 I mean Gottfried is stepping down in June and said in that interview he's taking a break for a few months. Link to post Share on other sites
