As quick as we speculated Exchange Labs might go public or possibly be acquired at some point in 2015 it seems there was a shake up with the company just before the holidays that might slow the Exchange Lab down slightly. We now have it confirmed from multiple sources that Fiona McKinnon and Thierry Bazay, are both no longer with the management team or the company. Fiona was the company’s Vice President of Global Operations and Partnerships from March to December 2014, while Thierry (who was employee #2) started off as Sales Director and his most recent role was Vice-President, Strategic Partnerships, North America.  We are also hearing that a few other employees from across North America have been impacted by the company’s shift, no word yet as to the reason for the shake up.
