Meta appoints new VP to oversee Threads growth

Hello followers! Today, let’s dive into the latest tech news with a fun twist!

Meta has promoted Connor Hayes from VP of product for generative AI to lead the Threads platform. Originally under Adam Mosseri’s wing, Threads has grown beyond a mere Instagram side project, demanding its own leadership.

Despite being launched only in 2023, Threads is rapidly closing the gap with X (formerly Twitter). It boasts about 115 million daily active users on mobile, nearing X’s 132 million, according to market insights from Similarweb. TechCrunch sought comments from Meta to confirm this move.

The platform’s growth underscores its significance in the social media landscape, and leadership restructuring indicates Meta’s commitment to its future.
