The Head Of Product For Linkedin Deep Nishar Announces Departure

By Hajj Isa


Deep Nishar, the head of product at LinkedIn, has announced his departure from the company. Nishar has been with the company for six years, having previously worked for Google in a similar product management capacity. He recently joined a number of boards, including the board of Auction.com.

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.

Nishar's last day with LinkedIn will be October 3rd. He will be handing over the oversight for the product to the company's CEO, Jeff Weiner. Jeff has been with LinkedIn for almost as long as Nishar, having joined LinkedIn from Yahoo. Nishar issued a statement of his own, saying that he is passionate about building and leading companies which have the potential to make a significant positive impact on the world. He hopes that he will have the opportunity to do the same thing again at his next company.

LinkedIn is a great site and a lot of people use it. People connect on there and are also able to look for jobs. They can meet new people as well as showcases their latest work. It can be a great place for everyone to network and grow stronger within their own field.

Nishar plans to continue to have a relationship with LinkedIn even after his official departure, and has agreed to serve in an advisory capacity to help Jeff as he takes over the product management at the company. However, he is confident that the company is in a good place and that Jeff's leadership will be a success.

Nishar's departure is amicable. LinkedIn issued a statement thanking Mr Nishar for all of his hard work, and wishing him all the best in his next venture. Nishar will continue to work with LinkedIn, acting as an advisor to Jeff Weiner while Weiner takes over the product responsibilities.
