Salon Media’s longtime financial chief resigns

Salon Media Chief Financial Officer Elizabeth Hambrecht has resigned.

“She’s been with the company many years and we wish her well,” said CEO Jordan Hoffner. The news was contained in an SEC filing, which said it was effective immediately.

The company had said in late June that it was going to be unable to file its quarterly earnings report on time, and now, more than three months later, it has still not reported.

Spear Point Capital had pumped in $1 million into the struggling company in January 2017, when outside director Richard McWilliams was made chairman, replacing the largest shareholder, John Warnock.

Elizabeth Hambrecht’s father is William Hambrecht, considered Silicon Valley royalty. He remains the second-largest shareholder with a seat on the board of directors.

Office of Personnel Management Director Out, White House Says

Office of Personnel Management Director Jeff Pon resigned on Friday, according to a White House official who declined to describe his reasoning.

The White House announced Friday afternoon that Margaret Weichert has been appointed as the acting OPM director. The official was unsure if the president intends to nominate a permanent director, but a White House statement noted that Weichert was confirmed by the Senate to her current post as deputy OPM director for budget.

Pon is the latest in a long line of senior Trump administration or White House officials to be fired or resign. President Donald Trump’s senior-level turnover rate is the highest in the modern era, according to several experts who track executive branch staffing.
