After four months, Rosedale abruptly stepped down from the Interim CEO placement. On March 14, 2008, Rosedale introduced programs to phase down from his placement as Linden Lab CEO and to become chairman of Linden Lab's board of directors. It was declared in October 2010 that Bob Komin, Linden Lab's chief financial officer and main working officer, would consider in excess of the CEO work for the instant long term.
