Richard Tindal leaves Donuts

Exit follows Stahura’s role change.

Half of fresh top level domain name firm Donuts’ founding team is no longer in their original day-to-day roles.

The firm disclosed that Richard Tindal, COO and one of four co-founders of the firm, has “retired” from Donuts.

Earlier this year, co-founder and CEO Paul Stahura switched roles with Bruce Jaffe. Jaffe was Executive Chairman of the firm’s board. Stahura is now a full-time Executive Chairman.

When Jaffe replaced Stahura, the firm also hired John Pollard as Chief Revenue Officer. At the time, Pollard told Reglike that despite some overlaps between his role and that of the other Donuts’ co-founders, the founders would all remain with the firm.

“I wouldn’t have taken this job if any of the founders were leaving,” Pollard stated in January.

The other two co-founders are Dan Schindler (right now Executive Vice President, Business Development) and Jon Nevett (right now Executive Vice President, Corporate Affairs).
