The Santa Clara, Calif., company announced Monday that Chief Financial Officer R. Marshall Case, 42 years old, is leaving the company for personal reasons. Mr. Case didn't return calls seeking comment. In addition, President and Chief Operating Officer Don Casey and Executive Vice President and head of marketing Beverly Brown left the company last week. Exodus didn't announce those departures, but they were confirmed by a company spokeswoman. Mr. Casey and Ms. Brown couldn't be reached for comment late Monday night. Exodus said that Dick Stoltz, senior adviser for strategy and finance since he stepped down as chief financial officer and chief operating officer in January 2000, has resumed the responsibilities as financial chief and executive vice president of finance on a temporary basis. The company said Mr. Stoltz will oversee its daily financial management until it finds a permanent successor for Mr. Case. Ellen Hancock, the company's chairman and chief executive officer, said that management changes were needed to take the company to its "next level" of growth. She said Mr. Casey decided to leave after his responsibilities changed. Ms. Brown left for personal reasons, she said. Ms. Hancock added that Mr. Casey and Ms. Brown's responsibilities have been divided among other top executives.
