Blue Apron Holdings Inc. soared as much as 24 percent in early trading Wednesday after it named Etsy Inc. executive Linda Findley Kozlowski as chief executive officer, replacing Brad Dickerson. The meal-kit delivery company also affirmed its outlook for “significant improvement” in financial results.
Kozlowski’s appointment is effective April 8, New York-based Blue Apron said Tuesday in a statement. Dickerson, who joined the company as chief financial officer in 2016 and was named CEO a year later, is resigning to pursue other opportunities, according to the statement. Blue Apron’s co-founder and head of technology, Ilia Papas, will also step down.
