McCabe joined online ticketing platform Trainline six years ago CFO. Prior to that, he was international director at boohoo competitor Asos PLC, as well as CFO for Amazon Europe, part of Amazon.com Inc.
Trainline said that McCabe will step down on September 15, and Peter Wood, vice president of Finance, will become interim CFO whilst the process to appoint a successor is underway. Wood has been with Trainline for 7 years, it added.
Trainline said it continues to make good financial and operational progress, growing strongly in the UK and internationally, and its expectations for the full year remain unchanged.
