founding Instagram, then selling the photo sharing startup to

Facebook for $1 billion. Not too shabby.

Melissa Mayer is the new CEO of Yahoo.

Taylor, who recently resigned as CTO of Facebook to start his own company, first came to

prominence as one of the prime movers behind Google Maps.

platform and Stone was hired to work on it.

becoming COO of Facebook, as well as that company’s first
