Redwood Shores, Calif. — March 1
Saba, a provider of people-centric enterprise services, announced a leadership transition Friday. Bobby Yazdani and the board of directors have agreed he will step down as chairman, CEO and director.
Shawn Farshchi, Saba’s executive vice president and chief operating officer, has been named interim CEO.
Farshchi, a 30-year veteran of building high-technology companies, will also retain his responsibilities as COO. In addition, the board has separated the roles of chairman of the board and CEO and appointed independent director Bill Russell to the position of non-executive chairman.
The board intends to commence a search for a permanent CEO and will consider both internal and external candidates.
