Snap Inc. Names Julie Henderson Chief Communications Officer
Longtime 21st Century Fox Executive to Lead Global Communications for Snap Following Completion of Sale of
Certain 21st Century Fox Assets to The Walt Disney Company
Snap Inc. (NYSE: SNAP) Chief Executive Officer Evan Spiegel announced today that Julie Henderson will join the company as Chief
Communications Officer. In this role, Ms. Henderson will report to Mr. Spiegel and lead communications globally as Snap continues
to redefine the camera and empower people to express themselves visually with friends and family.
Ms. Henderson is currently Executive Vice President and Chief Communications Officer for 21st Century Fox. She will assume her
new role at Snap immediately following the completion of the sale of certain 21st Century Fox assets to The Walt Disney
Company.
“Julie will be an outstanding addition to our team,” said Evan Spiegel. “She brings incredible experience, talent, and
integrity, as well as the respect of the tech, media and finance communities. We are excited to have Julie play a key leadership
role in the next chapter of the Snap story.”
Ms. Henderson will take over the responsibilities of Mary Ritti, Vice President of Communications. Ms. Ritti, who joined Snap in
2013, announced her decision to leave the company last summer.
“I am deeply grateful to Mary for everything she has done for Snap over the past six years,” said Mr. Spiegel. “She has been an
incredible partner and we could not have built Snap without her dedication to our community and mission.”
“The Snap team’s deep connection with its global community and their passion for creating innovative products made this an
irresistible opportunity,” said Ms. Henderson. “As the company enters its next phase of development, its creativity and vision set
the stage to grow Snap’s business and impact. I’m excited to work with Evan and my new colleagues to further their vision and
belief in the power of visual communications.”
