Seattle-based photo marketplace Getty Images Holdings Inc. (NYSE: GETY) disclosed in a Tuesday regulatory filing that co-founder and former CEO Jonathan Klein has left the company's board.
Klein served as CEO from Getty's founding in 1995 until 2015, according to his LinkedIn page. In the Securities and Exchange Commission filing, Getty said Klein's resignation was not tied to any disagreement with the company.
A Getty spokesperson said the company wasn't commenting beyond the filing.
