Some senior executives have reportedly left Coursera Inc. in a wave of departures from the online education startup just months after it raised $64 million in fresh funding and brought in a new CEO. Recode cited unnamed sources in a report that said those who have left the Mountain View company include Chief Operations Officer Lila Ibrahim; Chief Marketing Officer Kurt Apen; Chief Financial Officer John Madigan; General Counsel David Liu and Chief Product Officer Tom Willerer. Willerer joined the venture capital firm Venrock earlier this month. Ibrahim wrote on social media that she “decided it’s time for my next career adventure.” A total of as many as 40 employees have departed, Recode’s sources said.
