Instacart’s vice president of ad sales, Ryan Mayward, has left the company to join Walmart, Mayward said in a LinkedIn post. He’s the third senior advertising executive to leave Instacart in just over a year, calling into question whether CEO Fidji Simo will be able to achieve her advertising ambitions for the delivery app.
The departure comes less than two weeks after the grocery delivery firm told employees that it would postpone going public, which it had been expected to do by the end of the year.
