Kevin Systrom follows the footsteps of Mark Zuckerberg

US directors, if you have not yet found the sequel to The Social Network, have a look at Kevin Systrom. Graduated from Stanford in 2006, Systrom spent his first years with Google before creating
Burbn with Mike Krieger, which would eventually become Instagram. In the first week they hit 200,000 downloads and 13 million at the end of the year before being acquired by Facebook less
than 2 years after the launch. Indeed, Systrom’s success is due to natural leadership, evidenced in his independent running & growing of Instagram, which he defines as “a new form of communication that’s an ideal fit with the always-with-you iPhone in today’s social media world.”
