Insights

Domo’s COO exits with a sizeable cash and equity severance while remaining as a consultant.

Domo has negotiated a detailed separation package for former COO Mark Maughan, combining cash, accelerated equity, and additional RSUs over three years. The package includes a $1.5 million cash payment, full acceleration of outstanding RSUs, and 245,000 fully vested RSUs scheduled over time, with acceleration if a defined change in control occurs.

The agreement is paired with mutual releases and a non-compete during the consulting period, which can help reduce legal overhang and protect competitive interests. Maughan’s continued service as a consultant under a separate agreement may support operational continuity after his immediate resignation as COO on January 11, 2026. Overall, this appears to be a structured leadership transition with clearly outlined economic terms rather than an event with explicitly stated financial distress.
