Dear SaaStr: What Happens to the Management Team When a New CEO is Hired? You never know exactly what will happen. However, at a practical level, I think you should plan on maybe 50% of the management team turning over if your company brings in a new CEO. Maybe more. It just makes sense. The new CEO is coming in (x) first, to do “better” or at least new things and (y) to do it their way.
