Opendoor Co-Founder Eric Wu is Stepping Down at the End of the Year

There's big news out of Opendoor today. According to an SEC filing, co-founder Eric Wu is stepping down from the company at the end of the year. 

"On December 14, 2023, Eric Wu notified the Board of Directors (the "Board") of Opendoor Technologies Inc. (the "Company") of his intent to resign as the Company's President, Marketplace and from the Board, effective January 1, 2024. Mr. Wu's resignation was not due to any disagreement with the Company, its management, or other members of the Board. Following his resignation, Mr. Wu will remain an advisor to the Company and the Board."
