Mullenweg confirmed the transition in an internal Slack update on Friday, noting that Klaperman is well-acquainted with the position, having filled the role during Davies’s past sabbatical. The company remains in a state of transition as it prepares to appoint a new board of directors, who will eventually lead the search for a permanent financial chief.
Alongside the CFO change, the company has secured a successor for former Chief Legal Officer Andy Missan, who resigned alongside Davies. Both men departed following the disclosure of reciprocal severance agreements signed during the 33-hour window when Mullenweg had temporarily stepped down. Despite the executive exodus, Mullenweg maintained a tone of stability, asserting that the company’s financial position remains secure. With Stephen Wolfram remaining on board as a special advisor, leadership is now pivoting toward the next formal board meeting scheduled for September 23.
