此次裁員主要集中在美國的銷售人員中，而該公司在特拉維夫的開發團隊也增加了一倍。以色列金融科技獨角獸Melio宣布將裁員60人，員工總數減少10%。梅利奧表示，大多數被解雇的員工都是美國的銷售人員。Melio開發了一個為企業提供賬單支付服務的技術平台。該公司表示，在上個月簽署了一項戰略合作協議並推出了一款新產品之後，此次裁員代表著公司工作重心的變化。與此同時，Melio表示，該公司正在特拉維夫的以色列開發和產品團隊增加一倍。今年7月，美利奧與美國第一資本銀行(Capital One)合作推出了一項商業支付解決方案。作為合作的一部分，該銀行的信用卡持卡人可以通過該銀行的網站向供應商賒賬付款，即使供應商不提供信貸。該服務基於Melio的平台。在達成協議後，該公司的重點已轉移到與銀行合作推廣新的支付渠道，從而得以解雇銷售人員。Melio於2018年由首席執行官Matan Bar創立，他是一個連續創業者，他的第一個創業公司The Gifts Project於2011年被賣給eBay。 After the acquisition, Bar worked at eBay and PayPal before founding Melio with CTO Ilan Atias, who had worked in development at a range of startups including Outbrain and PrimeSense, and Ziv Paz, who is no longer active at Melio. In the company's most recent financing round in September 2021, it raised $250 million at a company valuation of $4 billion. Melio said, "Due to a shift in production priorities, we've made the difficult decision to separate ways from 60 team members across our sales and customer success team. This is a hard day for the impacted team members and also for the rest of the Melio team as we have to say goodbye to great people that are close to us and who made Melio what it is today. While it was necessary to make these reductions, we want to do it the right way. We have looked across severance, equity, healthcare, and job support and have done our best to treat everyone in the most thoughtful way we can. We also encouraged impacted members to apply to other open roles that Melio is hiring for across its sites. Melio will continue to accelerate hiring for its R&D teams and expand its offices in Tel Aviv, New York and Denver to support this overall team growth in order to be able to support its current and future strategic opportunities." Melio said that it is expanding to additional floor in its Tel Aviv offices in Hagag Towers and that by the end of the year it will grow its development and product team in Israel by more than 300 people (almost twice the number of people in Israel today), "to be able to support the technological opportunities and business partnerships to which we are committed."
