Tumblr COO Jeff D'Onofrio will take over Karp's responsibilities as the leader and public face of the Oath-owned subsidiary, according to an Oath spokesperson.
"David founded Tumblr ten years ago as a space for the world's creators, and we thank him for his commitment and passion driving the growth of the platform to almost 380 million blogs and over 155 billion posts," the spokesperson told Business Insider.
