Facebook Inc’s Instagram announced the appointment of Adam Mosseri as the new head of the photo-sharing app, a week after its co-founders resigned.
Adam Mosseri, who joined Facebook in 2008, was most recently Instagram’s vice president of product. He had previously overseen Facebook’s news feed and spent a decade working closely with Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg.
In a blog post, the company said Adam Mosseri will oversee all functions of the business and will recruit a new executive team.
Instagram co-founders Kevin Systrom and Mike Krieger resigned as chief executive officer and chief technical officer last week giving scant explanation for the move.
Instagram is Facebook’s fastest-growing revenue generator. Earlier, Jan Koum, co-founder of Facebook-owned messaging app WhatsApp, left the company.
