Skift Take
TripAdvisor's struggles clearly have to do with strategy, execution and competitive pressures, and can't be neatly laid solely at Medros' doorstep. That would be very unfair.
With TripAdvisor having well-documented struggles in its multiyear transition to become a force as a hotel search engine, senior vice president of global product Adam Medros, a key figure in all of the product changes, is leaving the company, Skift has learned exclusively.
When asked, TripAdvisor confirmed the development. It is believed that Medros will leave the company around October 20.
"Adam Medros, senior vice president, global product has made the decision to leave TripAdvisor to explore other career opportunities," TripAdvisor said. "Through the years, Adam was instrumental in the growth and evolution of TripAdvisor, but we continue to have great leadership in place and a team of highly motivated and innovative individuals working to make the world’s most beloved travel brand even better."
Medros' departure comes nine days after a statement by Mark Mahaney of RBC Capital
