Photo-messaging application Snapchat turned down a $3 billion-plus acquisition offer from Facebook last month, and now the company poached Instagram Director of Business Operations Emily White, who was named its new chief operating officer, AllThingsD reported.

White had been director of mobile partnerships at Facebook before moving over to the Facebook-owned photo-sharing network in April.

She told AllThingsD the opportunity to assume a high-level position at Snapchat was impossible for her to pass up, saying:

It happened really quickly, but to have an actual COO role in one of many companies that is disrupting the communications arena is one I could not pass up.
