Adam Mosseri
Adam Mosseri, born in New York City in 1983, is the man behind your Instagram addiction. Rising through the ranks at Facebook, where he was instrumental in shaping the News Feed, Mosseri took the reins of Instagram in 2018 after the platform’s founders bolted, reportedly over creative differences with Zuckerberg’s crew. Known for his relentless focus on user experience and occasionally controversial updates, Mosseri has steered Instagram through choppy waters, including scrutiny over mental health impacts on teens. Loved by some, loathed by others, he's the face of a platform that’s as influential as it is perpetually under the microscope.
