Linden Lab CFO/COO Bob Komin will take over temporarily. In a blog post, Rosedale wrote “it’s been an intense few months of transition, and we all feel like we are in a better place now, with a clearer sense of direction and more focus, and are ready to bring someone new into the mix as a leader.” This past June Linden Lab also laid off about 30% of their staff.
