5 CEOs who were fired from their own company

While it's not common for CEOs to be fired from their own companies, there have been instances where this has happened. Here are five notable examples: 1.Steve Jobs (Apple Inc., 1985) Steve Jobs, the co-founder of Apple Inc., was ousted from the company in 1985 after a power struggle with the then-CEO

John Sculley. Jobs returned to Apple in 1997 and played a crucial role in its revival. 2. Jerry Yang (Yahoo, 2008) Jerry Yang, the co-founder of Yahoo, faced criticism for rejecting a takeover bid from Microsoft in 2008. This decision led to shareholder dissatisfaction, and eventually, Yang stepped down as CEO later that year.

3. Martin Eberhard (Tesla Motors, 2007) Martin Eberhard, one of the co-founders of Tesla Motors (now Tesla, Inc.), was ousted from his role as CEO in 2007. Elon Musk, who was an investor in the company, took over as chairman of the board and later became CEO. 4. Andrew Mason (Groupon, 2013): Andrew Mason, the

founder and CEO of Groupon, was fired in 2013 due to the company's declining stock price and poor financial performance. The board of directors decided to make a change in leadership to try and turn the company around. 5. Travis Kalanick (Uber, 2017) Travis Kalanick, the co-founder and CEO of Uber, resigned in 2017 under pressure from

investors. The move followed a series of controversies and scandals surrounding the company, including allegations of a toxic work culture and legal issues.
