Signal CEO Moxie Marlinspike steps down, names WhatsApp co-founder Brian Acton as interim CEO
Signal messaging app's founder and CEO, Moxie Marlinspike, is stepping down, he said in a blog post on Monday.
"It's a new year, and I've decided it's a good time to replace myself as the CEO of Signal," said Marlinspike, whose real name is Matthew Rosenfeld."People increasingly find value and peace of mind in Signal , and are increasingly willing to sustain it," wrote Marlinspike. "Every day, I'm struck by how boundless Signal's potential looks, and I want to bring in someone with fresh energy and commitment to make the most of that," he added.
Marlinspike said he will remain on Signal's board and look for a new CEO, but WhatsApp co-founder Brian Acton will serve as the interim CEO. Acton founded WhatsApp in 2009. Facebook acquired the messaging service in 2014. Acton left WhatsApp in 2017.Subscribe to push notifications
