The cuts

The October cuts at HubSpot, Netflix and Amazon (Fast Company, 16 Oct 2026) weren't startup cuts tied to London, so they aren't counted here. None found, not none happened.
Seats — leadership moves & open chairs
No verified London senior marketing moves this weekWe found no CMO, VP Marketing or Head of Growth appointment or departure at a London startup or scale-up announced 19–25 October that we could source and date. None found, not none happened.
