Square CFO Sarah Friar moves down the block — as Nextdoor CEO

[Square CFO Sarah Friar is leaving to become the CEO of the neighborhood-based social network Nextdoor]( — which means she won’t be the heir apparent to Jack Dorsey if he ever leaves his CEO post. "I'm saddened by the news," Dorsey said in note to employees. "I was unrealistically expecting to be working with Sarah well into our late 90s ... Unrealistic because I knew of Sarah's lifelong ambition to run her own company." Friar [led Square's IPO push in 2015](, and was a stellar Wall Street narrative-setter. But despite investors' negative reaction to the news, [Square should be OK](. Here is video of [Friar being interviewed onstage by Jason Del Rey]( at Recode’s Code Commerce last month.

But the rise of the rest is occurring, and it is mainly occurring in cities outside the U.S. Across the world, innovators and entrepreneurs are increasingly realizing that the next game-changing innovation will be launched not in Silicon Valley, Boston, Seattle or New York, but in Shanghai, Bangalore, London, Berlin or Tel Aviv.
