Jon McNeill is stepping down as chief operating officer of ride-hail company Lyft, less than 18 months after joining from Tesla, according to CNBC.
Why it matters: No one was expecting such a high-level departure so soon after Lyft's IPO, which explains why the stock is down more than 2% on the news
Update: The company made the news official via a filing to the SEC.
