Khartoon Weiss, the lead exec for TikTok’s North American ads business, is exiting the company, four people familiar with the matter told Business Insider.
Weiss, who pitched TikTok’s suite of ad products to marketers onstage at its NewFronts event last month, joined the company almost six years ago from Spotify. She oversaw TikTok’s global agency and accounts teams before being promoted to lead the North America division of the global business solutions team in March 2025, following the departure of advertising head Blake Chandlee.
Weiss’ exit is the latest in a string of advertising and marketing team departures at TikTok.
Zuber Mohammed, TikTok’s global head of consumer marketing, left the company in March. Sofia Hernandez, the global head of business marketing and commercial partnerships, and Rema Vasan, who headed up business marketing in North America, left the company last quarter.
Other teams at TikTok have also seen leadership changes this year, including the company’s content division, which lost its global head of creators, Kim Farrell, in January.
Some of the executive exits have shifted control of North America teams to leaders from Singapore or China. When Chandlee left last year, oversight of the sales team, known as global business solutions, moved to Singapore-based executive Will Liu, for example.
TikTok’s US team restructured in January while forming a new joint venture to transfer certain work, like US user data management, to a separate group that includes Oracle and investment firms MGX and Silver Lake. Its advertising and marketing teams remain under the control of parent company ByteDance.
As part of the structural change, Adam Presser, a trust and safety executive, became CEO of the US joint venture. Presser appeared alongside Weiss at TikTok’s March NewFronts presentation to assure advertisers that the company’s ads experience would not be disrupted amid internal changes.
Saks Global’s bankruptcy filing shows how much the retail giant owes to some of the biggest luxury brands.

Saks Global filed for bankruptcy protection earlier this year.
Now the luxury retailer is looking to sell off its corporate jet for $6 million.
The sale, which requires court approval, would boost Saks’ liquidity, the retailer said in a filing.
Bankrupt luxury retailer Saks Global is looking to shed a high-end executive perk — its sole corporate jet.
In a recent court filing, Saks Global, the owner of department stores Saks Fifth Avenue, Neiman Marcus, and Bergdorf Goodman, detailed its plan to sell its 2003 Gulfstream G400 jet for $6 million to a private buyer.
The jet, which can carry up to 16 passengers and is powered by two Rolls-Royce engines, was primarily used by Saks executives for business travel and to “meet operational needs,” attorneys for the retailer said in the Sunday filing.
When the jet was not in use for business purposes, Saks “allowed certain current and former executives and directors” of the company to use the aircraft for personal travel under time-sharing agreements, the court papers said.
The proposed sale, which requires approval from the federal Texas bankruptcy court where Saks filed for Chapter 11, would “enhance” Saks’ liquidity “by eliminating unnecessary costs and expenses,” the retailer’s attorneys wrote in the filing.
Saks hired aviation broker Guardian Jet to market the aircraft after the luxury giant filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection in January, the court filing said.
The broker and Saks negotiated with prospective buyers and ultimately secured the “best and highest sale price” from the buyer, identified in the court documents as Jones Aviations LLC.
Under the terms of the agreement, the buyer would put down a $250,000 refundable deposit. The deal also includes a $210,000 broker fee for Guardian Jet.
A Saks spokesperson told Business Insider in a statement on Tuesday that the retailer’s “leadership has made the decision to sell the company’s legacy plane as it continues prioritizing the disciplined use of capital.”
“This action represents another deliberate step to direct investments toward the areas of the business that will drive meaningful growth for a stronger Saks Global,” the spokesperson said.
Saks filed for Chapter 11 on January 13 after missing payments to vendors and building a precarious debt load. At the time, Saks owed hundreds of millions of dollars to creditors, including Chanel and LVMH.
The cost cutting started almost immediately. In February, Saks said it would shutter nearly all of its discount Saks Off Fifth and Neiman Marcus Last Call locations, as well as several Saks Fifth Avenue locations. The next month, the company announced more closures.
The retailer expects to emerge from bankruptcy during the summer.
While Saks said in the Sunday court filing that selling off the Gulfstream jet would “maximize value for the benefit of all creditors,” won’t cover much. Roughly two weeks of Saks’ legal bills in January totaled $7.2 million, court papers showed.

President-elect Donald Trump has 11 grandchildren.
They range in age from 11 months to 18 years old.
His second-youngest child, Tiffany Trump, gave birth to her first baby in May 2025.
A lot has changed for the Trump family since President Donald Trump first moved to the White House in 2017.
Back then, his oldest son, Donald Trump Jr., was still married to his now ex-wife, Vanessa Trump, and the president had three fewer grandchildren.
His newest grandchild, Alexander, was born on May 15, 2025, to his daughter Tiffany and son-in-law Michael Boulos.
In all, Donald Trump has five children — Donald Jr., Ivanka, Eric, Tiffany, and Barron — and the four eldest each have children of their own. Barron, who’s 20, started his freshman year of college in 2024.
Donald Trump’s eldest grandchild, Kai, is already stepping into the spotlight. She spoke at the 2024 Republican National Convention and frequently posts photos on Instagram with her grandfather — she even posted on X in November 2024 that Elon Musk had “uncle status.”
Kai has since attended sporting events with her grandfather, like the 2025 Ryder Cup, and most recently made headlines for a vlog featuring her visit to Erewhon, an upscale grocery store.
Another of Trump’s grandchildren, 10-year-old Theodore Kushner, sat center stage at Super Bowl LIX when his grandfather became the first president in history to attend the game.
And most recently, some of Trump’s grandchildren — including his youngest, Alexander — joined the president and first lady at the White House Easter Egg Roll on Monday.
Here’s a guide to all 11 of Donald Trump’s grandchildren.

Kai Trump is the oldest of Donald Trump’s grandchildren at 18 years old. She’s also the oldest child of Donald Trump Jr. and Vanessa Trump, and was born in May 2007.
Her parents, who were married from 2005 to 2018, have five children together.
Kai spoke onstage at the Republican National Convention in 2024, making her first foray onto the public stage, and sat on the inauguration stage in January 2025 when Trump was sworn in.
She’s since become a YouTuber, with 1.47 million subscribers.
She’s also set to play college golf and verbally committed to playing at the University of Miami beginning this year, she shared on Instagram in August 2024.
She thanked Donald Trump, who owns more than a dozen golf courses, in the post, writing, “I would like to thank my Grandpa for giving me access to great courses and tremendous support.”

Jamie Dimon said high taxes could drive employees out of New York City.

Jamie Dimon said JPMorgan’s Texas workforce is booming, as its NYC workforce shrinks.
He said high corporate and individual income taxes could push people and businesses out of the city.
His warnings haven’t come true yet — in the first quarter, demand for NYC office space was up.
Jamie Dimon warned that companies could leave high-tax cities like New York — but so far, they aren’t.
In his annual letter to shareholders, the JPMorgan CEO said New York City has “much going for it,” but it also has high corporate and individual income taxes that are inhospitable to some businesses.
Dimon, the man behind JPMorgan’s new $3 billion building in Manhattan, said some individuals might move, noting that the wealthy are already fleeing a few states with high taxes and costs of living. A proposed wealth tax in California, the state with the most billionaires, has drawn sharp criticism from some lawmakers and business leaders. Some big names are already leaving, like Google cofounders Sergey Brin and Larry Page, who moved entities linked to them out of the state ahead of a deadline tied to the proposal.
In his letter, Dimon didn’t name New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani, who supports increasing taxes on the wealthy and corporations, and has proposed raising residents’ property taxes to address the city’s $5.4 billion budget deficit.
“Companies need to remain competitive in this very tough, fast-moving world,” he wrote. “And higher taxes mean lower returns on capital and less competitiveness by their nature.”
For now, though, the shift Dimon is warning about isn’t showing up in the office market.
Commercial real estate firm JLL found that in the first quarter of 2026, companies are continuing to sign leases for high-quality office spaces in Manhattan, and vacancies are down 2.2% compared to a year ago. AI companies are driving some of the demand for office space, JLL reported, as they anticipate near-term hiring. Rents were up 3.5% year-over-year.
In its report, JLL mentioned two financial firms’ recent commitments to New York City: Bank of America’s plans to expand its Midtown office space, and American Express’ commitment to open a new headquarters building in the Financial District.
Dimon, however, highlighted in his letter that some financial firms and their employees are migrating south.
“Sometimes you see companies leaving states, but migration also shows up in shifts of employees out of certain states,” he wrote.
JPMorgan’s head count in New York City dropped from 30,000 to 24,000 over the past decade, Dimon said, while its head count in Texas has gone from 26,000 in 2015 to 32,000 today.
“This trend will likely continue,” he said.
JPMorgan, which employs more than 12,000 people at its campus in the Dallas suburb of Plano, Texas, isn’t alone in building up its presence in the Lone Star State, dubbed “Y’all Street” by some. Both Goldman Sachs and Bank of America have announced plans to build new campuses in Dallas, and Apollo recently said it is searching for a second headquarters in Texas or Florida.
Both airmen have been rescued in a high-risk mission, with the president revealing details on the operation.

Over 150 aircraft were involved in the rescue mission of a downed US F-15 airman in Iran.
Some of the aircraft were part of a deception campaign to confuse Iran about the officer’s location.
The weapon systems officer, stranded in the mountains, was rescued after roughly two days in enemy territory.
The high-stakes combat search and rescue missions to recover two downed US airmen stranded in Iran involved numerous aircraft, close calls, and a deception campaign, President Donald Trump and other administration officials said Monday.
The shootdown of an F-15E Strike Eagle last Friday in Iran saw both the pilot and the weapon systems officer eject from the aircraft and land deep inside hostile territory. While the pilot was rescued quickly, the other airman landed miles away and hid for nearly 48 hours before being rescued.
At a press conference Monday, Trump and other officials shared details on the complex rescue mission. After the F-15 was downed by an Iranian shoulder-fired missile, Trump ordered the military to retrieve the two airmen, he said.
Within hours, 21 US aircraft launched to rescue the pilot, flying at very low altitude under fire, Trump said. The first wave located the pilot, who was extracted by an HH-60 Jolly Green II rescue helicopter.
The other F-15 crew member had landed a “significant” distance away from the pilot, the president said. The airman was injured and proceeded to climb into mountain terrain toward higher altitudes while treating his injuries. Trump said the officer was avoiding a very heavy Iranian presence in the area.
The weapons systems officer signaled his location with a beeper-type technology, the president explained without going into detail, and the US organized a major operation to rescue him from the mountains. The US dispatched 155 aircraft for the second rescue mission, including four bombers, 64 fighters, 48 refueling tankers, 13 rescue aircraft, and others.
Over 150 aircraft were involved in a massive mission to rescue the second airman in Iran, with many being used for a deception campaign.

Some aircraft, like A-10 Thunderbolt II attack aircraft, one of which was lost to enemy fire, engaged in close-in firefights with the Iranians to keep them away. Some were involved in recovery. Others were involved in deception.
Trump said much of the mission was “subterfuge” intended to throw off the Iranian hunt for the downed airman.“We wanted them to think he was in a different location,” he said.
He said that Iran had thousands of people looking for the airman, promising a reward.
“We were scattered all over” seven different locations across the country, intended to confuse the Iranians so they couldn’t figure out the officer’s actual location, the president added.
Trump said the US had planes circling dozens of miles down the coast, for instance. The deception was meant to mislead and misdirect to prevent the enemy from massing near the pilot’s real position.
In the actual area where the airman was hiding, US aircraft descended in force to rescue him, engaging the Iranians, pulling out the airman, and leaving. The officer had been out there for almost 48 hours. Trump said some aircraft were damaged by gunfire. Some aircraft were destroyed and left behind.
The CIA was also involved in executing an intelligence and deception campaign central to the mission.At the briefing, CIA director John Ratcliffe said the agency deployed “human assets and exquisite technologies that no other intelligence service in the world possesses to a daunting challenge comparable to hunting for a single grain of sand in the desert.”
While attempting to locate the second airman, the CIA also pursued a deception campaign to “confuse the Iranians,” Ratcliffe said. US officials confirmed Saturday that the weapon system officer was alive and hiding in the mountains and said the deception campaign helped prevent Iranian forces from finding him before the US carried out a rescue.
Radcliffe did not go into detail on the deception, but the New York Times and the Wall Street Journal reported that the agency bought the military time to find the second airman by spreading rumors that the US had already found him and was moving him out in an overland operation, the intent being to draw Iran’s focus away from the real mission.
The F-15 lost last week was flying a mission as part of the US war against Iran, now stretching into its fifth week. US forces have struck over 12,000 targets in Iran and conducted over 13,000 combat flights, targeting Iranian air defenses, missiles, command and control, and military infrastructure.
The ongoing conflict has resulted in Iran shutting down the Strait of Hormuz, a critical waterway for crude oil and gas shipments, resulting in price hikes for oil and international concerns over energy supplies.
Amid negotiations between the US and Iran, Trump has continued to threaten more strikes on the country. He has said that 8 p.m. ET tomorrow is a deadline for Iran to make a deal. Failure to do so, the president said, will result in bombardments of Iranian infrastructure, including bridges and power plants.
YouTube sensation Jimmy Donaldson, also known as MrBeast, is familiar with working long hours.

Top YouTuber MrBeast said he rarely worked less than 15 hours a day during “Beast Games” production.
The content creator said he does “not have a healthy work life balance.”
MrBeast is looking to grow his team by 50%, his company’s CEO recently said.
MrBeast has hired hundreds of employees since starting his namesake YouTube channel in his bedroom, but that doesn’t mean he’s cut back on his workload.
“It was a miracle if a day was less than 15 hours for me,” he said of his work schedule when his team was making his Amazon show “Beast Games.”
The YouTuber, whose real name is Jimmy Donaldson, recently lifted the curtain on his jam-packed agenda. In a video with creator Jon Youshaei, Donaldson said he works nearly non-stop in a schedule that’s “literally planned down to the minute.”
“Everything has to be perfect because I don’t have much time,” he said.
Donaldson gave the example of his YouTube thumbnails. Donaldson has a body double who, in the video, said he was working “nine to five, Monday to Friday,” blocking out potential thumbnails for Donaldson.
That means when Donaldson is ready to shoot the thumbnail, his team can execute it quickly.
Donaldson seems to have no complaints about his workload and later in the video said he had no plans to slow down. Still, said his schedule is “not really a fair comparison for most people.”
“I live to work and 100% do not have a healthy work life balance,” he wrote on X.
Donaldson has built a team around him to help him grow his output.
In 2024, he tapped Jeffrey Housenbold, a former Shutterfly CEO and venture capitalist, to lead his business as CEO. Beast Industries has since built a team of executives hailing from TikTok, Snap, NBCUniversal, and other companies.
Housenbold said recently on LinkedIn that Beast Industries is looking to expand its team “by 50% this year” across New York City, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Chicago, and its headquarters in Greenville, North Carolina.
MrBeast’s VP of talent said on LinkedIn that the company is looking to bring on people for their creative, engineering, marketing, product, and production teams.
