Reddit hires former Snap CFO as its finance chief
Reddit snapped up former Snap Inc. chief financial officer Drew Vollero, who will serve as the online-discussion company's CFO.

The company said in a blog post that Vollero joins after a "pivotal year" for the company as it saw its advertising investments start to pay off.
