MarketWise, Inc. (NASDAQ:MKTW) announced significant changes in its leadership structure, following the resignation of F. Porter Stansberry as Chairman and Chief Executive Officer on August 9, 2024.

The company clarified that Stansberry's departure was not due to any issues with MarketWise's financial health or operational practices. Stansberry, however, will maintain his position on the Board of Directors.

In response to the sudden leadership vacancy, the Board appointed Dr. David Eifrig as the interim Chief Executive Officer, effective immediately from August 10, 2024. Dr. Eifrig, 65, has been with MarketWise since 2008 and has been a Board member since May 2023.

His previous experience includes a Master of Business Administration from Northwestern (NASDAQ:NWE) University’s Kellogg (NYSE:K) School of Management and a medical degree from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.

Simultaneously, Matthew Turner has been named the Acting Chairman of the Board. Turner, age 58, also joined the Board in May 2023 and has been associated with MarketWise's largest shareholder, Monument & Cathedral Holdings, LLC, since 2015. He served as its General Counsel until 2022. Turner's educational background includes a Juris Doctor from Catholic University and a Bachelor of Arts from Loyola University, Maryland.

The company also disclosed that negotiations concerning the acquisition of Porter & Company, LLC, which had been previously announced on July 9, 2024, were terminated on the same day as Stansberry's resignation. No reasons were provided for the cessation of these discussions.

Furthermore, Stansberry's resignation was made public via a social media platform on August 9, 2024, with the letter furnished as an exhibit to the SEC filing.
