Flexport founder reclaims CEO role as Amazon exec's abrupt exit roils logistics startup

Dave Clark resigned as Flexport CEO after just one year, with founder Ryan Petersen taking over.
Clark's hiring aimed to expand Flexport, but Petersen wanted focus on core freight business.
Petersen criticized Clark's hiring and spending, canceling dozens of open roles.
Clark was surprised at his sudden ouster and is exploring a run for Texas governor.
Key executives hired by Clark were also let go in leadership shake-up at the startup.
