Specialty Food Association

DoorDash announced Thursday that Prabir Adarkar will serve as president and COO, and Ravi Inukonda will be promoted to CFO, effective March 1.

“Prabir and Ravi both joined DoorDash during a pivotal time and over the years, helped us secure market leadership, grow sales 7x while improving our unit economics, and launch multiple businesses globally,” said Tony Xu, CEO of DoorDash, in a blog post. “They’ve both been forged in the systems and processes we’ve designed at DoorDash while serving as culture carriers to improve upon what they’ve experienced. Since they joined, they have consistently taken on increasing responsibilities, are well-prepared for their new roles, and are ready for their next tour of leadership.”

Adarkar moves to the new position after serving as CFO for more than four years. Xu explained that, while in the role, he demonstrated expertise in multiple business areas, including product strategy, international operations, and recruiting and culture, which will serve him in the new position.

In Inukonda’s current role as VP of finance and strategy, he has led the company’s daily financial execution strategy for nearly five years.

Current president and COO, Christopher Payne, will retire from operating roles and daily management after seven years in the position. He will support Adarkar and his team through the transition and remain an advisor through May.
