Rowan Trollope has quit as Five9's CEO and will also step down from Five9's (FIVN) board of directors. Former Five9 CEO and current Chairman Mike Burkland will resume his role as CEO on November 28, the firm announced. Today, FIVN stock fell 18.7% to 62.55 on the stock market.

Following the recent firing of the head of EMEA and coinciding with what appears to be the smallest sales beat since 2014, the departure timing is not great, according to MoffettNathanael analyst Sterling Auty.

Auty added Mr. Burkland resigned as CEO in 2017 after being diagnosed with cancer, following a highly successful time as the company's leader. Given the deceleration in growth following the epidemic, one could argue that the company's emphasis on business execution returns plays to Mr. Burkland's strengths.


Five9 increased its adjusted earnings outlook for the third quarter from 31 cents to 33 cents per share to 38 cents per share. Five9 expects approximately $198 million, up from its previous estimate of $193 million.
