Once valued at $6 billion, 23andMe has seen a decline in performance and public trust in recent months. In September, the firm settled a lawsuit for its failure to protect the privacy of nearly seven million users during a significant data breach. Just two months later, it announced a dramatic workforce reduction involving 200 employees, or 40% of its total staff. Following Wojcicki's departure, the company's finance chief, Joe Selsavage, has stepped in as interim CEO, while Wojcicki remains on the board. The unfolding situation marks a pivotal moment for the company, as it works to navigate through challenges and restore its standing in the market.
