Bio
Evan Spiegel is the co-founder and CEO of Snap Inc. and Specs Inc. Snap is a technology company focused on self-expression, communication, and discovery, while Specs Inc. is a wholly-owned subsidiary dedicated to making computing more human through advanced eyewear that integrates digital experiences into the physical world. Advertising revenue growth is Snap's top business priority, and the company has worked to grow and diversify its ads business following Apple's platform policy changes in 2022. Spiegel has articulated a vision for generative advertising on Snapchat — one that starts with understanding what users want and matches them with relevant businesses, rather than the conventional approach of targeting users already showing purchase intent.
