Xero has abolished the position of chief revenue officer. The company attributed the decision to the hiring of a chief marketing officer who has responsibility for online sales and marketing, and the growth in regional capabilities. As a result, Stuart McLean, who held the position, is joining Trade Me, a New Zealand-based online market place, as a senior executive. McLean joined Xero, which makes low-cost cloud accounting applications, in March 2013, after serving as head of Google's enterprise operations in Australia and New Zealand.
