Lenny's Podcast: Product | Career | Growth · Snapchat CEO: Why distribution has become the most important moat | Evan Spiegel · 26 Apr 2026 podcast

And I learned so much from the questions that folks ask.

And I love that openness.

I think it's just such an important part of our company and who we are.

You know, I think that's,

only partly true if you want to stay in the CEO job.

I think the CEO job has a lot of requirements that are not necessarily things that you love to do in the morning.

There's a huge amount of responsibility that comes along with being a CEO.

There's a lot of operational rigor that

that I think needs to be developed.

I think not every part of the CEO job is glamorous.

So I think if I just wanted to work on product, I would pick a different job at Snap.

But I think because I really like leading our company and leading the direction and strategy for the business, and because I see a huge opportunity in transforming the way that people use computing in the future, both through Snapchat, but also with specs, I think this is the right role for me right now.

I mean, certainly I would spend more time with my family and probably have more fun on some days if I was in a different role or, you know, more focused on design.

But I think the opportunity for a business like ours at the scale, you know, that we have, it's a, you know, it's a once in a lifetime opportunity for me.

And, you know, despite its challenges, I do like the CEO job.

That's really one of the reasons why I call this year a crucible moment.

The company's almost at the scale of entering the Fortune 500, which is really exciting.

It's almost at a billion monthly active users.

It's about to launch specs after 12 years of investment in this future computing platform.

you know, but at the same time, it's, it's still not net income profitable, for example, uh, because we've been investing so heavily, uh, in the future and make, making the choice, uh, to do that.
