Julien Fourgeaud steps down as CEO of Scarlet Motors

CEO departures normally come in one of two forms -- a dignified slope to the exit, or an explosive, controversial parting of ways. Departing Scarlet Motors CEO Julien Fourgeaud has taken a different approach with a stream-of-consciousness blog post, describing the company's origins and cryptically hinting at divisions within the EV maker. Naming no names, the former Rovio executive mentions that he wishes people "kept their commitments, their word" and were "working together towards building an amazing product." But despite the dissatisfaction, Fourgeaud says that he'll continue to support the business as a shareholder -- in between making sure his LinkedIn profile is up to date.
