The Head Of Product For Linkedin Deep Nishar Announces Departure

By Hajj Isa


The head of product for LinkedIn announced his departure. Deep Nishar will be leaving the company after six years. This will mean some changes for the website. He will be leaving the company in October but still plans to be connected with it in some form after his departure.

Deep Nishar decided to step down from his position in order to pursue other avenues in his business life. He is always looking for a challenge and he moved from one (with Google) to another (Linkedin) and both companies have shot up in fame.

Sometimes changes are big and the public is really aware of them. Other times they are small and anyone outside of the company probably won't notice. It is hard to say what will be the case with LinkedIn in the upcoming months and years. In our social media world, there are always a lot of changes going on. People don't tend to stay with the same company for 30 years anymore. People move around and try different things during the course of their careers. They might stay somewhere for 5-10 years and then move on.

LinkedIn is an incredibly popular business networking site, and many people use it as a part of their daily routine. It is used by headhunters and recruiters, executives, employees, PR and the press. What started initially as a simple "online CV" has since turned into an integral part of day to day business for many niches.

Nishar started working for LinkedIn when the website had about 30 million members, and the population of the site has grown tenfold since then. Nishar has not disclosed what he plans to do next, or which company he will be working with. He has joined several boards recently, and has made it clear that he wants to work with a company that has the potential to "make a significant positive impact". He has an advisory role with Auction.com, and is also a board member of TripAdvisor and Opower.

In a post on LinkedIn's website, Nishar said that the company is in great shape and that it is well on the way to its goal of mapping the global economy and helping to connect talent and opportunity. Nishar will be handing over the responsibility for product and user experience to LinkedIn's CEO, Jeff Weiner, who is a long-standing member of the company. He says that the team has a deep bench, and noted that it is "firing on all cylinders".
