Hootsuite Founder Returns as CEO

Ryan Holmes is back at the helm of the social media management company he founded over 15 years ago, stepping in as Hootsuite navigates a period of significant turmoil.

Novoselsky's exit follows a series of protests and employee resignations linked to the company's work with a U.S. government department.

Holmes, who had previously stepped down in 2020, stated that his immediate priority is to stabilize the firm and rebuild trust with both staff and customers.

The company has not yet announced a timeline for finding a permanent replacement as it seeks to move past the recent controversy.
