“Moving forward, not backward,” Wong tweeted late Thursday. “Upwards, not forward. And always…”

Ellen Pao, Reddit’s business and partnerships strategist, will serve as the company’s interim CEO, Reddit investor Sam Altman said in a blog post.

The company is also bringing back Alexis Ohanian, who co-founded Reddit nearly a decade ago. He’ll serve as full-time executive chairman and work on communications and marketing, Altman said.
