Zynga’s chief creative officer quits

Another key player is flying the coop at Zynga, the San Francisco-based social gaming company. Mike Verdu, the company’s chief creative officer, posts that he’s leaving to start his own company. He follows John Schappert, who left as chief operating officer last month. The company’s stock is selling for 70 percent off its $10 IPO price, at just under $3. Mercury News
