Last November<\/a>, location startup\u00a0SimpleGeo<\/a> brought in former Digg CEO\u00a0Jay Adelson<\/a> to replace co-founder\u00a0Matt Galligan<\/a> as CEO. At the time, Galligan slid into the role of Chief Strategy Officer and became more of a public face for the company. Now he\u2019s leaving the company entirely.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
