Ellen Pao resigning as CEO of Reddit

SAN FRANCISCO: Ellen Pao resigned as interim chief executive officer of Reddit Inc after a user revolt at the online forum. Steve Huffman, a Reddit cofounder, is taking over as CEO, the San Francisco-based company said Friday. Pao apologised earlier this week to the Reddit community after a mass online protest over the firing of Victoria Taylor, who staffed a popular feature. Pao has faced vitriol from Reddit users who called for her firing.
