(Feb 9): GoTo Group shares resumed their decline after the Indonesian ride-hailing and delivery giant sidelined several key executives and switched up its board following a steep market selloff. Undertaking its biggest management reshuffle yet, the country’s biggest tech company announced Wednesday that group president Patrick Cao is relinquishing his post to run a company endowment fund. The head of its Tokopedia unit, William Tanuwijaya, will no longer lead the local e-commerce pioneer he founded in 2009, though he’ll remain a commissioner and co-chairman of GoTo.
