Good Good's CEO and president are out after ad debacle: Read the memo
Good Good's CEO and president are out in the latest dramatic twist at the beleaguered YouTube golf collective, read a memo seen by Business Insider.
YouTuber group Good Good Golf's CEO and president have resigned following a controversial ad campaign that sparked criticism for promoting violence towards women. The ad was seen by many as a setback for the popular YouTube golf collective, leading to a loss of retailer and brand partnerships. In response to the situation, the company announced a series of changes to its leadership team.
Nahid Giga, one of the company's founders and an early investor, has been appointed as interim CEO, effective immediately. Alex Puchala, who leads finance and operations at Good Good, revealed the news in a memo obtained by Business Insider. Puchala described the day as difficult for the entire Good Good family, emphasizing that Matt Kendrick, another founder, had helped build something extraordinary and continues to bring new fans to the sport.
Joe Flannery, who had recently been appointed as president to handle business operations, has also decided to step down. Puchala noted that the president will oversee most business operations, a role he took on just a few days prior to the ad controversy. The company's co-founder, Garrett, and the creator team will continue to focus on producing great content and engaging with the fans.
Despite the setback, the Good Good community remains supportive, and the company remains committed to moving forward and building the next chapter of the business. Puchala welcomed any questions and encouraged open communication during this transition period.
