Pandora Co-Founder and CEO Tim Westergren to Step Down

Exec, who co-founded music streaming service 17 years ago, is leaving, according to Recode

Tim Westergren, Chief Executive Officer of popular music streaming service Pandora, plans to step down from his role, according to a report from Recode that cites people close to the situation.

The Oakland-based company does not have a replacement ready to go. Westergren will stay on with Pandora until a new CEO is set to take the reigns.

Pandora did not immediately return TheWrap’s request for comment on Westergren’s reported pending departure.

Westergren co-founded Pandora 17 years ago and has been its CEO since last year. He was also its chief exec from 2002 to 2004. Before Westergren took over last April, the company was run by a number of professional managers.
