Sonos is continuing to clean house as the company recovers from the hits it took following a disastrous mobile app redesign last year. Just a day after CEO Patrick Spence departed the company, chief product officer Maxime Bouvat-Merlin is also leaving.

A day after announcing that CEO Patrick Spence is departing the company, Sonos revealed that chief product officer Maxime Bouvat-Merlin is also leaving. Bouvat-Merlin had the role since 2023.

Among other duties, Deirdre Findlay oversaw marketing, customer experience, and go-to-market strategy. And, well, we know how that last one worked out with the new app.

Merlin is leaving the audio technology company, following Monday’s exit of the chief executive officer amid the fallout from the failure of its app revamp, according to a person with knowledge of the matter.

A day after Sonos announced a CEO transition, the company is making more moves. Chief product officer Maxime Bouvat-Merlin will also be leaving his position. Some employees have told me that Bouvat-Merlin shares a significant amount of blame for the brand damage that Sonos has endured over the last year after deciding to release an overhauled mobile app well before it was ready for customers.
