Grammarly is a deeply technical, product-led company Rahul’s product and technology background is a tremendous asset, and he is well-positioned to help us navigate the path ahead. Now is the ideal time for this transition. As such, after twelve years at the helm of Grammarly, I am passing the baton to our current Global Head of Product, Rahul Roy-Chowdhury, who will become CEO on May 1. A new era of leadership can help drive this inflection.


Seizing this moment and reaching the next orders of magnitude requires us to move faster and at a much larger scale. We’re now at an inflection point for our product and business. Consider the welcome reception we’ve received since announcing GrammarlyGO ! While broader AI innovation and adoption may be a disruptor for some, it will be a great accelerator for Grammarly. The market is appreciating the ability of AI to augment human agency and genuinely help people. Our mission of improving lives by improving communication is a long-term aspiration-we’ve still barely scratched the surface of what’s possible! Our core technology of artificial intelligence is accelerating in exciting and unprecedented ways, especially with the broader application of large language models coupled with continuously increasing computing power. Most importantly, we have a fantastic global team, with a culture rooted in strong, consistent, and effective values-essential ingredients for long-term success. We’ve consistently focused on our users, creating a beloved, award-winning brand and product that lives up to our mission: 93% of Grammarly users say that Grammarly has increased their confidence when communicating with others! We’ve done all this while innovating responsibly, investing heavily in enterprise-grade security, and maintaining a business model that prioritizes user trust. We help tens of millions of people communicate more effectively in half a million places they write. We have a market-leading platform, a “first-mover” example of the impact of assistive AI at scale. I shared the following with Grammarly team members yesterday afternoon:Īs we approach our fourteenth company birthday, we have come a long way in our quest to build an enduring company, and we find ourselves in a strong position.
