I have decided that now is the right time for me to step down as CEO of Deliveroo.
I’m super proud of everything we have achieved together. Today, Deliveroo is delivering on our mission to transform the way people shop and eat. After 13 years, however, I want to consider my next challenge.
During the first year of Deliveroo I worked as a rider each and every day and continued to deliver orders regularly over the years. I know how hard you work and I want to thank you. You have helped to make Deliveroo what it is today, making an extraordinary contribution every day in your local communities. Since the beginning, we have sought to give riders the work we know you value, with flexibility alongside security.
I will stay on as CEO until the acquisition of Deliveroo by DoorDash is complete, which is expected on 2nd October.
The acquisition will be good news for Deliveroo riders. DoorDash is one of the world's leading platforms in local commerce and we believe that, with them, Deliveroo will be better positioned to serve you, increasing your opportunity to earn through greater order volume.
Thank you again,
Will
