Maplebear said CEO and President Fidji Simo will resign effective August 15, 2025, to pursue another opportunity, and she will remain Board Chair. Chris Rogers, the company's Chief Business Officer, was appointed CEO and President and a Class II director, effective the same date, with the Board expanding from eight to nine directors. Separately, the Board approved raising the share repurchase authorization to $1 billion from $750 million.
