By Christine Zosche 

On a recent Friday, Kristen O’Hara got a major promotion: to become Snap Inc.’s chief business officer. CEO Evan Spiegel made it official by alerting her direct reports, according to people familiar with the matter. Two days later, he changed his mind, rescinded the offer and hired Jeremi Gorman, who oversaw ad sales at Amazon.com Inc. (Bloomberg)

O’Hara, a former longtime WarnerMedia/Time Warner exec, is now exiting Snap, Snapchat’s parent company, after less than two months. (Variety)
