Instacart recent poached their new CEO Fidji Simo from Facebook (FB  ), with Simo starting her new position on August 2. Simo has been the head of Facebook's "big blue app" ever since 2019, placing her at the head of the social media's News Feed, Stories, Groups, Video, Marketplace, Gaming, News, Dating and Ads segments.

Now, however, similar to a great deal of Facebook recent executives, Simo is moving on toward Instacart rather than her prior position with Facebook. Simo will be leaving at an interesting time for Facebook, given regulators and politicians who are focusing more so on Big Tech, with its market supremacy and muddled algorithms that control the online experience for billions of individuals.

Facebook has endured much feedback because of its "pivot to video" and influence for poor actors and inaccurate data, whereas a memo from Simo showed up as an instance of the way that engagement metrics seem to be the most significant aspect to the company.

Simo will be replaced by Tom Alison, according to Bloomberg, who ran particular products of the company, especially the "Groups" attribute, making note that along with the change will come an all-male ranking product executive board. At Instacart, Simo will overtake a start-up with a valuation of $39 billion that is positioned to improve numbers significantly and planned to go to the public in the near future.

Simo stated in a press statement: "As we think about the future of food, we believe the way people eat and their relationship with food will fundamentally change over the next decade. They'll expect a more convenient experience, the widest selection of food at their fingertips, faster delivery times, increased personalization, and more inspiration. Instacart has an opportunity to deliver all of that for customers, while also becoming an even stronger ally and growth accelerator for retailers and advertisers, and helping create economic opportunities for hundreds of thousands of shoppers."

Although Instacart itself has its own set of problems, it nevertheless possesses major plans of propelling the workforce forward in a manner that looks ahead and not backward. It also hopes to respond appropriately to unionization attempts throughout the pandemic, and while these responses may look bleak in the end, the intention is ultimately to work together for the greater good of the organization.
