Wonderful to have Toni onboard as we navigate this next chapter!

I'm thrilled to announce that I'll be joining Bluesky as interim CEO. I deeply believe in what this team has built and the open social web they're fighting for. More here: toni.org/2026/03/09/c...

It's been one of the greatest honors of my life to serve as Jay's COO. She is a rare human who sees a more hopeful future and leads with integrity, grace, and wisdom. I can't wait to see how she continues to change the world as Bluesky's CIO.

It’s been wonderful to see Jay build Bluesky to where it is. I’m incredibly excited for her to step into the role of CIO as she shifts her focus to the broader ecosytem 🦋

Why Bluesky Is Letting Users Write Their Own Social Media Rules CEO Jay Graber and COO Rose Wang are challenging tech's status quo.

I interviewed @jay.bsky.team and @rose.bsky.team about Bluesky's origin story, scaling approach and that Zuck t-shirt: "We want a world where there's no need for emperors at all.”

Amazing fireside chat at SG Conference today with @kinjal.bsky.social and @rose.bsky.team 🦋

Photo of two women, Rose Wang and Kinjal Shah onstage at the 2025 StartupGrind conference. They’re seated in front of a large screen with the name of their talk, “The Future of Social Media: Bluesky’s Vision for a Decentralized Web & User-Controlled Ecosystem”.
