“I’m so proud that we’ve built a home for creators to bring their art to the world in ways no one could have previously imagined. And while I’m very much excited about my next step, working alongside and learning so much from so many of you has been a privilege,” Ostroff wrote. “The memories of the moments, the stress, and the laughter we shared have helped me grow and better appreciate the journey … and for that, I will always be grateful.

Working together, our podcasting team has revolutionized the space. This organization’s trajectory has been astonishing, going from practically zero market share and a handful of podcasts, to the leading platform with more than five million podcasts today and a 30x increase in podcast consumption on the platform. And I’m really proud of what we have built with our original and exclusive shows–despite being just .05% of the number of shows on the platform, they account for ~20% of consumption.

Over the past two years, we’ve modernized the advertising business to make it essential to brands and clients. And we have delivered, doubling our ad revenue to well over a billion euros in the process. The technology and innovation that the global ad and sales team has brought to market ensures that there will be billions more to come. That growth is set to change the marketplace forever, especially under the strong leadership of my dear friend Alex, who has my every confidence.

We’ve championed marginalized voices and worked to drive much-needed change in the audio industry. I’m so proud that we’ve built a home for creators to bring their art to the world in ways no one could have previously imagined. And while I’m very much excited about my next step, working alongside and learning so much from so many of you has been a privilege.
