British AWS-focused consultancy VeUP is in trouble as bosses leave and reviews slam the firm’s “revolving door” culture.
According to LinkedIn and Companies House records, ex-CEO James Campanini quit the firm in August 2023, and several other top dogs followed him in the last months of 2023.
Ex-COO Owen Knowles and CFO Suzanne Clarke, who worked for VeUP as contractors, also walked out recently. Knowles left in February this year.
Sources inside the company say workers are being dumped and even faced with legal action without warning.
There have been shedloads of senior exits across finance, HR and sales at the start-up, which came to the UK market in early 2023 with Campanini in charge and Alexander Dick as its chairman.
A recent review on Glassdoor says: “I got good feedback all the time until I spoke up about the firm’s unfair hiring ways, which led to my sudden firing under the cover of ‘poor performance.'”
VeUP says the changes are just due to its use of temporary staff and contractors.
In a statement, the company said: “VeUP has grown fast since starting last year and, as a result, our management structure has had to change and adapt, including getting temporary staff and sometimes contractors to fill top jobs as the firm grew.”
