Spotify Technology SA’s head of podcast studios, Julie McNamara, will leave the company after nearly three years, according to people familiar with the decision.
Her departure, which McNamara announced in a memo to staff on Thursday, further emphasizes Spotify’s reduced ambitions in the podcast space. The company declined to comment on her exit, but in her memo, McNamara, who previously worked at Paramount Global, said she’d be returning to her creative roots, the people said.
