Cybersecurity firm Tanium, valued at $9 billion, laid off between 15 and 20 employees last week, primarily from its marketing department. This represents roughly 10% of its 200-person marketing unit and a small fraction of its total workforce of about 2,000. The cuts, which included nearly all senior product marketers and some partner sales staff, follow the recent resignation of Chief Marketing Officer Chris Pick—the fourth CMO to leave the company since 2016. This move is part of broader organizational shifts, including the earlier disbanding of its customer success team, as the company undergoes a readiness assessment under a new CFO in preparation for a potential IPO.
