• Life360 co-founder Chris Hulls ignored legal advice and the boilerplate, “I want to spend more time with my family” in an announcement about why he’s leaving the CEO role. Hulls said there were aspects to being the CEO that he loved, but there are parts that drain him. “The honest truth is that my brute-force style got results and still can, but being the backstop of last resort, 24/7, year after year, comes with a constant weight.” He is now the executive chairman and ex-COO Lauren Antonoff is the new CEO.

Life360 cofounder Chris Hulls is resigning in his own unfiltered way after 20 years—and he isn’t sanitizing the reason the $9 billion location-tracking company has appointed chief operating officer Lauren Antonoff as his replacement.
