Savikas Out at Safari, Amid Reports of Layoffs

The technology blog The Digital Reader has reported that “massive layoffs” have hit Safari Books Online, a digital subscription service specializing in technical and business content. According to the report, the company's CEO Andrew Savikas is among those who have been cut.

Savikas confirmed that he is leaving Safari in a post on Medium. SBO is owned O’Reilly Media, and Savikas said, in his post, that as "O’Reilly works to fully integrate Safari with the rest of their operations, [O’Reilly founder] Tim O’Reilly and I agreed this was the right time for me to step away.”
