Fadia Kader has left Instagram after four years and is joining Clubhouse as its new head of media partnerships and creators. She reports to global head of marketing Maya Watson, who recently arrived from Netflix. Clubhouse is a quickly growing audio drop-in chat app.
Kader’s role will focus on working with creators and brands in the music and entertainment ecosystems, and educating industries on the best ways to utilize Clubhouse, and to also bring the music and entertainment community to the app.
Currently by invitation-only and accessible to just iPhones, Clubhouse achieved a valuation of over $1 billion in January on the strength of a booming user base — it currently boasts 10 million weekly active users — and participation by such notable personalities as Elon Musk, Tiffany Haddish and rapper 21 Savage, among many others. It launched a year ago.
“I joined the Clubhouse app back in August and quickly found myself drawn to the platform,” Kader tells PvNew. “I reconnected with friends and colleagues I hadn’t spoken to in many years. I met new friends from all around the world and we shared very human moments together. As I spoke with the Clubhouse team about this role, the relationships built and moments shared were at the forefront of my mind.”
She shared the news on Instagram.
