Matt Mullenweg, founder and CEO of Automattic, was placed on a paid leave of absence by the company's board, with CFO Mark Davies appointed as interim CEO. Mullenweg opposed the decision, which was made without giving him time for legal review. The board expressed full confidence in Davies' leadership.
