Yesterday brought bad news for Elevation with a report that superstar partner Marc Bodnick was leaving the firm. The story seems to have gotten a lot more interesting today. We're hearing reports that Bodnick isn't simply heading for a new sexier venture firm-- he's heading to Quora to become the company's CFO. This certainly adds some credence to those who believe Quora is more than just the next generation of Yahoo Answers. It's no secret that Bodnick has been deeply impressed by the company and spending a good deal of time on the site. As this story has unfolded this morning, there's been some debate over exactly what title Bodnick will have, and we've continued to update this story based on what sources close to the players are telling us. His background is in finance, so he'll no doubt help out with CFO-duties, but it's not clear why Quora needs such a polished full-time CFO at this point in its development. He will likely wind up serving as the requisite "grown up" more than anything else, helping Quora scale, build a real business and giving the company a polished spokesperson. It's a role Bodnick would be familiar with-- after all his sister-in-law is Sheryl Sandberg, Mark Zuckerberg's no. 2 at Facebook.
