Fidji Simo, a French business leader, is the CEO and Chair of Instacart, steering the company into new frontiers.

In 2021, Simo co-founded The Metrodora Institute a multidisciplinary medical clinic and research foundation dedicated to the care and cure of complex chronic conditions, and serves as President of the Metrodora Foundation. This institute stands at the intersection of medical research and patient care, fueled by a commitment to break traditional medical silos.
