A Salesforce Inc. cybersecurity executive has left the company, another shake-up in the top ranks of the software maker that is struggling with slowing revenue growth.

The company announced internally in late November that Mark Carter, executive vice president of security, would depart, according to a person familiar with the issue who asked not to be identified because they weren’t authorized to talk about personnel matters. Carter’s exit from Salesforce’s security division hasn’t been publicly reported. He held leadership roles at Amazon.com Inc., Tesla Inc., and Alphabet Inc.’s Google, among other tech companies, before joining Salesforce a year ago, according to his LinkedIn biography.
