Today, we’re celebrating International Women’s Day. At Instagram, these are some of the amazing women work to bring us closer to our mission to strengthen relationships through shared experiences. You can find their contributions in our code, throughout the product’s design, in our marketing materials, on partnership initiatives and on our leadership team, to name a few. I greatly appreciate the work they do and believe that Instagram is a better company because of their contributions! #WomensDay #EmbraceAmbition
