Expedia says Rathi Murthy and Sreenivas Rachamadugu, respectively its CTO and senior vp of core companies product & engineering, are now not employed on the journey reserving firm.
In an announcement shared with Bloomberg and elsewhere, Expedia mentioned Murthy and Rachamadugu are “now not employed at Expedia Group” because of an unspecified “violation of firm coverage.”
“We’re actively looking to fill these roles and stay assured in our know-how, technique, and staff,” the corporate mentioned. “On account of confidentiality, we is not going to be making any additional feedback on the matter.”
TechCrunch reached out to Expedia for affirmation and extra remark. We’ll replace this submit if we hear again.
Murthy’s and Rachamadugu’s departures look like sudden. Murthy spoke to TechCrunch about the brand new AI-powered options introduced earlier this week, and she or he reportedly gave a presentation on these options at an Expedia convention with enterprise companions.
They each joined Expedia in 2021, coming from TechCrunch’s then-parent firm Verizon Media (now Yahoo).
This isn’t the corporate’s solely latest management change. Ariane Gorin, who was introduced as Expedia Group’s new CEO in February, formally took over this week.
