WhatsApp taps Cred founder to lead after Cathcart departure
Will Cathcart is stepping down after seven years as WhatsApp head; Meta will name Cred founder Kunal Shah to take over, with a $900 million investment giving Cred a 20% stake. Cathcart will remain at Meta in a new role, while Shah leaves Cred to run WhatsApp as the platform continues expanding (iPad support, ads, and private AI chats).
