CEO Change, You Digg? Kevin Rose Succeeds Jay Adelson
Digg founder and Diggnation co-host Kevin Rose rose to the CEO seat, succeeding Jay Adelson, who resigned to satisfy his “entrepreneurial calling.”
Employees learned the news at an all-hand-on-deck meeting Monday morning, according to Mashable, and Adelson and Rose then posted an update on the Digg Blog.
TechCrunch reported that Rose told Michael Arrington in a conversation last fall, “One of us will leave the company.”
From Adelson:
Got some news. After five years, 40 million users, and an amazing ride, I’ve decided to step down as CEO of Digg.
