Instacart New CEO

Instacart announced that its chief business officer, Chris Rogers, has been appointed as the company’s new CEO. The appointment is effective August 15. Rogers will also join Instacart’s board of directors. The announcement comes a few weeks after Instacart CEO Fidji Simo shared that she’s stepping down to join OpenAI as CEO of Applications. Simo will remain chair of the board at Instacart. In his role as chief business officer, Rogers oversaw Instacart’s retailer relationships and expansions, Ad Sales and R&D, Partnerships, Mergers & Acquisitions, Instacart Business, and Instacart Health. Rogers joined Instacart in 2019 after nearly 11 years at Apple, where he served as the managing director for Apple Canada. He began his career at Procter & Gamble, where he led relationships with Canada’s largest national grocery retailers, Instacart says.
