Away cofounder Jen Rubio says she never planned to be CEO. Here’s what changed her mindhttps://fortune.com/2021/04/23/away-luggage-ceo-jen-rubio-interview-steph-korey/

This week, the company decided that what it needed for its next phase was continuity. On Tuesday the board of directors named Rubio, who has been serving as interim CEO for the past two months, its permanent CEO. "It wasn't part of my game plan," says Rubio, who founded Away with fellow Warby Parker alum Steph Korey in 2015. "I was kind of in a mindset to hand the reins over."
