Jay Graber, the chief executive officer of Bluesky since 2021, is leaving her position and transitioning to chief innovation officer of the social platform. "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," Graber wrote in a blog post.
Taking over as temporary CEO is Toni Schneider, the former CEO of WordPress parent Automattic. Graber also remains a member of the company's board of directors and will help determine who the permanent leader of the platform will be.
