Amplitude, Inc. President to Depart; CRO Named Chief Commercial Officer
What Happened
Amplitude, Inc. filed an 8-K on February 24, 2026 announcing that President Thomas Hansen will depart his role effective March 31, 2026. Mr. Hansen will continue to support the company in an advisory capacity through April 1, 2027 to help ensure a smooth transition. The company stated his departure is not due to any dispute or disagreement. Nathaniel Crook, the current Chief Revenue Officer, will step into the newly created role of Chief Commercial Officer and assume many of Mr. Hansen’s responsibilities.
Key Details
- Filing date: February 24, 2026 (Form 8-K, Item 5.02 and Item 7.01 disclosure via press release).
- Effective departure date: March 31, 2026; advisory support through April 1, 2027.
- Successor: Nathaniel Crook (currently Chief Revenue Officer) will become Amplitude’s first Chief Commercial Officer.
- Company notes: Departure is not the result of any dispute or disagreement regarding operations, policies, or practices.
Why It Matters
This is a material executive change in Amplitude’s commercial leadership. The defined transition timeline and advisory period reduce short-term disruption risk by providing continuity while responsibilities shift to an existing senior executive (the CRO). Investors should note the company’s explicit transition plan and the consolidation of commercial responsibilities under Nathaniel Crook, which could affect go-to-market execution and revenue leadership continuity going forward.
