Instagram Hires From Within to Fill Vacant Head of Product Role

Vishal Shah was promoted to assume Adam Mosseri’s old position

Previously, Shah had been overseeing the Facebook-owned photo- and video-sharing network’s shopping initiatives, advertising products and IGTV long-form video platform. Shah will report directly to Mosseri.

Shah did not respond to a request for comment, but a spokesperson for Facebook confirmed the move, sharing this statement from Mosseri: “I am thrilled that Vishal Shah is Instagram’s new head of product.
