Spotify Podcast Official to Exit in Latest Sign of Growing Pains

Liz Gateley, one of Spotify Technology SA’s highest-ranking podcast executives, is stepping down after less than two years, according to people familiar with the situation.

Gateley, who has hired in February 2019, is shifting into a creative-consultant role, said the people, who asked not to be identified because the change isn’t yet public. She will depart the company sometime next year. Gateley came to Spotify from the TV network Lifetime, where she oversaw the hit show “UnReal.”
