The app, including its team headed by CEO Kevin Systrom who was a graduate of Stanford University in 2006 with a BS in Management Science & Engineering, and Mike Krieger, a graduate from Stanford University where he studied Symbolic Systems with a focus in Human-Computer Interaction will be joining Zuck’s Facebook team.
