He can possibly apply for a change of status to another work visa if appropriate.

No. Only E-2 spouse can apply for work permit. If you want to work for other company, you might consider a new E-2 or E-1 (if qualified), L-1, or H-1B. We suggest you to consult with an immigration attorney.

I agree with Mr. Medina, though there could be other categories you qualify for in addition to those he mentions. Without discussing this more with you, it's only possible to provide this general information.
