Price of shares in music streaming service leaped after announcement it was laying off almost a fifth of its workforce

Paul Vogel, Spotify’s chief financial officer, moved to sell the $9.4m worth of stock on Tuesday, a day after investors sent the company’s share price soaring in response to reports that the cuts would help it sustain profitability amid slowing economic growth.
