My guest this week is Fiji Simo, the CEO of Instacart. Fidji grew up in a small town in the south of France and was the first person in her family to graduate from high school. Since then, she's had a dazzling career with stops at Francis Leading University, eBay, and Facebook. Fiji spent the better half of a decade at Facebook where she led the Facebook app before joining Instacart in mid-2021. We talk about Fiji's consumer product experiences.
