Evernote lays off 47 people and closes 3 offices in effort to build a more focused team
Evernote has announced layoffs at the productivity app provider. In a post, newly installed chief executive Chris O’Neill said that today it parted ways with 47 people on its staff and shuttered three offices outside the U.S. as a means of building a smaller, more focused team. Since taking over for Phil Libin two months ago, O’Neill has been on a mission to better assess Evernote and its users. And now the time has come for him to start making his mark. As part of that, he’s focusing on three of the company’s core strengths: notes, sync, and search. He is seeking to retool the entire staff and concentrate on those team members that could contribute.
“I believe that a smaller, more focused team today will set us up for growth and expansion tomorrow,” O’Neill wrote. “Here are two things that you can expect from us over the next several months: we will launch major foundational product improvements around the core features that you care about most, and we will pull back on initiatives that fail to support our mission.”
A company spokesperson tells VentureBeat that offices affected are in Taiwan, Singapore, and Moscow. The layoffs are from across the entire company. Initiatives that are on the chopping block are those deemed “non-priority,” such as Evernote Food, which will shutter tomorrow.

Evernoteは従業員47人をレイオフ、 拠点3か所を閉鎖、フォーカスされたチームの構築に取り組む
生産性向上アプリのプロバイダーであるEvernoteはレイオフを実施すると発表した。ある投稿記事によると、新たに選出されたChris O’Neill社長は本日、47人の従業員にレイオフを言い渡し、米国外の拠点3か所を閉鎖したと発表した。これは、小ぶりの、よりフォーカスされたチームを構築するための手段だ。
生産性向上アプリのプロバイダーであるEvernoteはレイオフを実施すると発表した。ある投稿記事によると、新たに選出されたChris O’Neill社長は本日、47人の従業員にレイオフを言い渡し、米国外の拠点3か所を閉鎖したと発表した。これは、小ぶりの、よりフォーカスされたチームを構築するための手段だ。
その職を2か月前にPhil Libin氏から受け継いでから、O’Neill氏はEvernoteとそのユーザをより良いかたちで評価するというミッションに取り組んでいる。そしていま、彼ならではの仕事を始める時がやってきた。その一環として、彼は同社でコアとなる3つの強みにフォーカスしている。それはノート、同期、検索だ。彼はスタッフ全員を再配置し、会社に貢献してくれそうなチームメンバーに集中しようとしている。
「私は、小さくてフォーカスされたチームをいま作っておくと将来、成長し発展できると信じています。今後数か月のうちに次の2つの内容を期待していただます。1つは皆が最も気にしているコア機能周りの根本的な製品の改良です。もう1つは、当社のミッションをサポートできていない取り組みからの撤退です」と、O’Neill氏は記している。
同社の広報担当者はVentureBeatに対し、オフィスが閉鎖されるのは台湾、シンガポール、モスクワだという。レイオフが行われる部署は会社全般にわたり、大鉈が振るわれた取り組みはEvernote Foodなど「優先的でない」事業とされたところで、明日にも終了する。
