Instacart CEO discusses Mark Zuckerberg's comments on 'masculine energy' in the workplace

Instacart CEO Fidji Simo told CNBC's Julia Boorstin that there is a need for both masculine and feminine energy in the workplace.

There is considerable blowback right now against diversity efforts in the market, including from Simo's own former boss Mark Zuckerberg at Meta, where DEI programs have been scrapped and Zuckerberg has recently called for more “masculine energy” in the workplace.

Simo, who was a 2024 CNBC Changemaker, said there needs to be a "balance."
