Myriam Joire, evangelist for the wearables company Pebble, has been fired from her position. She was Tech Evangelist at the company and spoke at a number of events, including an event in Amsterdam and another in London this week.
“Wow! I just found out that I’m no longer with Pebble,” she said in a tweet.
Joire, also known as TnkGrl, was at the company for a year and a month. She posted the news on her Twitter feed.
In a Medium Post, Joire described her job as representing the fledgling company to the media and the developer community. She wrote:
Joire declined to comment on internal issues at the company. I’ve contacted CEO Eric Migicovsky on the firing but have not received a reply.
Wow! I just found out that I'm no longer with @Pebble…
