Mere days after Zynga's CFO headed to Facebook comes word of another resignation from its financial department. Bloomberg reports that treasurer Mike Gupta is leaving for Twitter, where he'll serve in a similar role as its VP of corporate finance and treasurer. Zynga has lost quite a few executives since posting heavy losses back in July. Perhaps most famous among these was COO John Schappert, who made headlines by filing his resignation soon after being stripped of most of his duties at the company. Other chief officers who have left the company since then include CCO Mike Verdu, CTO Allan Leinwand, CMO and CRO Jeff Karp, and CSO Nils Puhlmann. The company is currently undergoing an identity change of sorts, heavily promoting its push toward "mid-core" mobile game development and, starting next year, real money gambling.
