The filing emphasizes that her departure is not due to any disagreement, and she will receive severance under the company's executive plan. Although the role is not CEO or CFO, it is a C-suite position, and the exit comes just days after a disappointing Q2 earnings report that missed estimates and included a guidance cut.
