Reddit has appointed its first Chief Financial Officer. Andrew (Drew) Vollero brings more than 30 years of experience leading finance functions to position companies for growth. He will lead Reddit’s Finance team starting later this month and report to Reddit Chief Operating Officer Jen Wong.
Vollero joins Reddit most recently from Allied Universal, the largest U.S. security and facility services firm. Previously he served as Snap’s first CFO, scaling the finance, accounting, and audit functions and leading the company through its IPO as a public company.
At Reddit, Vollero will focus on building out our finance team across all areas including tax, treasury, audit, financial planning, sales finance, accounting, procurement, and investor relations.
“As Reddit accelerates growth, we are developing the foundation and capabilities to support an increasingly global, large and diverse business. 2020 was a pivotal year for Reddit to begin to realize the outputs of investments made in our Advertising business. The fourth quarter saw a 90% increase in advertising revenue year-over-year, and daily active users grew to more than 52 million. “
“Drew is an industry thought leader, who brings a track record of building a global finance organization for high growth companies,” said Steve Huffman, co-founder and CEO of Reddit. “He will be a tremendous addition to our Executive Team, as Reddit continues accelerating our business and user growth.”
Vollero has a B.A. in mathematics and economics from Yale University, graduating magna cum laude, and an M.S. in management from Oxford University. Earlier in his career, he led various areas of finance at Mattel and Pepsi. Vollero is an avid sports fan, and his favorite subreddits are r/dadjokes, r/worldnews, r/travel, and r/leadership.
