DigitalOcean needs more innovation than anything. I think this is where their current CEO made the biggest mistake. He spent billions in buyback using debt when instead he should have put that money into innovation and growth.
Lately the pace of innovation at DigitalOcean is almost nothing.
All of their latest features have been bought. Nimbella for functions. Cloudways for website hosing, and Paperspace for GPUs.
They need someone that understands why DigitalOcean is liked by developers. They need to go back to focusing on great documentation and building features and tooling to make it even easier for developers to build and scale on their platform.
The layoffs in February, the new staffing model, guidance hit, financial controls deficiency, and the walkout probably has the board scared.
That's corporate speak for removal. Based on the speed in which this announcement was made in regard to the investigation into misleading financial statements https://www.globenewswire.com/news-release/2023/08/21/272896... it's pretty obvious.
There does not say anywhere in the article about "removal" or "remove"
