Steve Huffman (Social Media / Community) at Reddit — San Francisco, United States
Steve Huffman co-founded Reddit with Alexis Ohanian in 2005, building the "front page of the internet." After an initial departure, he returned as CEO in 2015 and has since professionalized the platform while preserving its community-driven culture. Reddit went public in 2024 in a highly anticipated IPO and has increasingly monetized through advertising, data licensing, and community awards. Known online as "spez," Huffman is deeply embedded in Reddit's culture.
