Looks like he could be leaving. Typically a linkedin profile shows the word "present" to signify a person is still working within an organisation. The fact that he has updated his with "Sept 23", probably means something is up. But why would you announce cryptically that you have left a role before it becomes public?

Selling IP in the next best thing, particularly when that happens to be regarded by many of the old hands in the industry as science fiction, would not be an easy gig.
And he would have been under a lot of scrutiny and no doubt pressure from Sean and the rest of the board for tangible results.
And none of us knows what else he's got going on in his life, maybe he doesn't want the travel anymore, maybe he wants to be near and have more time for an ageing parent or a special needs child? We don't know these things and probably never will.
Sales folk come and go. Sometimes they are a good fit for a position.....sometimes not.
You'd usually give it 12 months to ascertain that, even if only for the sake of your resume.
Good luck to him and bring on the next candidate.
Personally I'd like to see some female energy in the position.
I'm sure Sean will have seen this coming and have people in mind.
Hopefully they will find early success in the role.
