Quora Loses Its Finance Chief

Steven Trieu has stepped down as VP of finance at Quora, the question-and-answer site that he joined in late 2011 from Facebook (FB).

Quora doesn’t have a chief financial officer, so Trieu was the person tasked with overseeing private financings for the company―including an $80 million Series C round in 2014 at a $900 million post-money valuation―and creating a long-term option exercise program that served as the model for similar programs at companies like Pinterest.

Trieu’s departure from Quora comes just one month after the departure of longtime head of business and community, Marc Bodnick.
