Snapchat’s CEO Just Wrote An Amazing And Emotional Response To All The Leaked Emails
Snapchat CEO Evan Spiegel, like his idol Steve Jobs, believes in keeping secrets. Secrets, Spiegel believes, are not easy but necessary to run a successful business.
And he is very upset that many of Snapchat’s secrets, like the fact that it wants to create a music label, and that it acquired a few startups for millions of dollars, and the details of the Facebook offer, have been made public.
They were made public because Sony’s email accounts were hacked, and the CEO of Sony Entertainment sits on Snapchat’s board.
