Josh Elman, VP of Product at Robinhood has stepped down at the stock-trading startup after less then two years at the position, according to Business Insider.

Elman felt that after 20 years of building and working with startups he was due for a break. Elman stated in an email, "As Robinhood has just launched Cash Management and is well set up to build into 2020 and beyond, now is a perfect time to start that break."

During Elman’s time with the Robinhood, the company has experienced some of its most publicized mistakes, including its failed announcement of a checking and savings product and a glitch that gave users access to infinite leverage. Though a source familiar to the matter claims those miss-steps had nothing to do with Elman’s departure.

The announcement was made internally via an email Monday. Currently Elman’s replacement has yet to be named.
