Etsy chief executive quits after quarterly loss
Chad Dickerson, who was also chairman, will be replaced by former eBay executive Josh Silverman. Etsy made an unexpected loss of $421,000 in the first three months of 2017 - having earned $1.2m a year earlier. It also announced it was cutting 80 jobs - or about 8% of its workforce. Etsy shares fell 17% in after-hours US trade after the announcements. Etsy listed on the Nasdaq in 2015 after becoming known as the eBay for artisanal and handcrafted items.
