How Fidji Simo went from a tiny fishing village in France to CEO of multi-billion dollar tech company, Instacart, and the board of OpenAI
Today’s guest is Fidji Simo, CEO and Chair of Instacart. Before Instacart, Fidji was the Vice President and Head of Facebook. She currently serves on the Board of Directors at OpenAI and Shopify. She co-founded the Metrodora Institute, a health center and research institute specializing in treating complex medical conditions, and is the president of The Metrodora Foundation.
Fidji and I discuss her journey from growing up in a small town in France and being the first in her family to graduate high school, to being the CEO of a multi-billion dollar public company. She explains her strategic vision for Instacart, how to get the best advice from your Board of Directors, and how she’s navigated her own chronic condition alongside a fast-growing career.
