Perplexity AI advertising head Taz Patel departs after nine months

Investing.com -- Taz Patel, head of advertising and shopping at AI search startup Perplexity, has left the company after nine months, Adweek reported on Friday.

Patel joined Perplexity in December 2024 and was responsible for developing the startup’s emerging advertising business. Before joining Perplexity, he served as chief revenue officer and co-founder of influencer-marketing firm Captiv8, which was acquired by Publicis Groupe in May 2025.

Ryan Foutty, Perplexity’s vice president of business, reportedly told Adweek in a statement: "It’s been great to have Taz on our team, and we wish him all the best in his future endeavors. Perplexity is driven by velocity and curiosity, so our work continues unchanged and we still partner with the world’s best marketers and merchants who want to experiment and develop the best consumer experiences for the AI age."
