Instacart hires former Facebook exec Carolyn Everson weeks after poaching Fidji Simo as CEO
Summary
President of Global Marketing Solutions for Facebook, Carolyn Everson attends the forum titled "Poverty Alleviation & Economic Development" within the One Young World Summit 2017 at Agora Conference & Special Events Center in Bogota, Colombia on October 05, 2017. Everson is moving to Instacart mere weeks after Fidji Simo, former head of the Facebook app, took over as CEO. Everson spent more than 10 years at Facebook where she served as the face of the company for major advertisers as the vice president of its global business group. In an interview with CNBCs "TechCheck," Wednesday, Simo addressed why Instacart is becoming so appealing to top Facebook talent. Facebook Chief Diversity Officer Maxine Williams in July said the departures of Simo and Everson are not such a bad thing because theyre moving into high-ranking leadership roles elsewhere.
