I am thrilled to welcome Matt Madrigal to the Executive Team at Pinterest as our new Chief Technology Officer. Matt joins us from Google, where he led the global engineering and product teams responsible for building Google Shopping experiences and infrastructure. I had the great privilege of working with him during my tenure there and am excited to once again collaborate.
Matt comes on board as Pinterest has become a destination for shopping and our business continues to grow in size, complexity, and influence. His deep technical expertise and experience building for global markets at massive scale and in e-commerce will be crucial to shaping Pinterest’s future. Matt will work closely with me and our entire executive team to advance our strategy and mission with world class technology.
I want to thank Jeremy King for his leadership and commitment to Pinterest over the past five years. Under his direction, our engineering team has evolved significantly and made substantial progress toward achieving major milestones, including reaching half a billion MAU. Please join me in thanking Jeremy for his years of service to our mission to create a more positive internet, and in welcoming Matt to the Pinterest team.
