"I have greatly enjoyed working closely with [founder and CEO] Mark Pincus and the rest of the team," Wehner said in a statement. "The time I spent at Zynga has been an exciting chapter in my career as we led the rapid development of social gaming."

The leadership change is the latest in a series of top-level shakeups, which included the loss of marketing, revenue and creative officers.

Last month, the company laid off more than 150 employees in Austin and Boston, and the latter studio was completely shuttered.
