James Dibbo joins amid 3rd-quarter slowdown
Dibbo joins at a tricky time: Pinterest is up against major players like Instagram and Facebook, and has warned of slower third-quarter revenue growth.
After the news broke, Pinterest shares dipped about 1%, a sign investors are watching closely.
CEO Bill Ready said, "James has led complex global businesses at scale, helped build high-performing teams, and understands the intersection of consumer experience, shopping, advertising and technology."
