Brad Dickerson has been named president and c.e.o. of Blue Apron Holdings.

NEW YORK — Brad Dickerson has been named president and chief executive officer of Blue Apron Holdings, Inc. Previously the company’s chief financial officer, Mr. Dickerson replaces co-founder Matt Salzberg, who has stepped down as president and c.e.o. and has been named executive chairman. The company is searching for a new c.f.o.

Mr. Salzberg was c.e.o. of Blue Apron since its founding in 2012.

“We’ve made meaningful progress toward our top company priorities,” Mr. Salzberg said. “Since we completed the transition of volume to our fulfillment center in Linden, N.J., less than two months ago, our most recent On-Time-In-Full rates have improved to be in line with our other fulfillment centers. Additionally, as expected, our margins since the end of the third quarter have significantly improved.

“The board and I are confident that Brad is the right person to build on this momentum. He is a seasoned leader with significant experience working with the public markets, operating efficiently at scale, and delivering value to shareholders. We are lucky to have him as our next c.e.o.”

Blue Apron co-founder Matt Salzberg has stepped down as president and c.e.o. and has been named executive chairman.

Prior to joining Blue Apron in February 2016, Mr. Dickerson held senior leadership roles at Under Armour. During his 11-year tenure at the sports apparel company, Under Armour annual revenues grew to $4 billion from $200 million. Mr. Dickerson has a bachelor of science in accounting from the University of Akron and a master of business administration from Loyola University Maryland.
