Today, we’re promoting Ashraf Alkarmi to co-CEO of @Dropbox. Ashraf and I will jointly lead the company, and after a transition period, I’ll move into the role of executive chairman and Ashraf will be sole CEO.
Ashraf has transformed our core business since joining — the business has gotten stronger every quarter under his leadership, and he’s the leader I trust to run this company.
What’s next for me: my focus right now is making sure Dropbox is in the strongest possible shape. But knowing myself, it won’t be long before I’m getting credit card alerts for my Cursor token spend.
