"As Bluesky matures, the company needs a seasoned operator focused on scaling and execution, while I return to what I do best: building new things. As part of this transition, Toni Schneider, former CEO of Automattic and partner at True Ventures, will join our team as interim CEO, while our board runs a search for a permanent chief executive."
"At Bluesky, a small and extraordinarily talented team has signed up over 40 million people, nurtured an open developer ecosystem with over 500 active apps, and scaled all the systems that make that experience smooth and possible: A consumer app, servers, on-boarding, moderation, safety, the list goes on. And they've done it while staying true to the open protocol underneath."
Jay Graber, CEO of Bluesky, announced her transition to Chief Innovation Officer, with Toni Schneider, a venture capitalist and former Automattic CEO, assuming the interim CEO role. Bluesky, founded by Jack Dorsey in 2019 as a Twitter internal project and spun off in 2021, has experienced substantial growth following Elon Musk's acquisition of Twitter and its rebranding to X. The platform surpassed 43 million users on the day of the announcement. Graber stated the company needs a seasoned operator focused on scaling and execution, while she returns to building new products. Schneider will maintain his partnership at True Ventures while serving as interim CEO. The board will conduct a search for a permanent chief executive.
