Linkedin Head Of Product, Deep Nishar, Announces His 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.

In a statement issued at re/code, LinkedIn noted that Nishar joined LinkedIn when the professional networking site had just 30 million members, and under his watch the site grew to 313 million members. LinkedIn thanks Deep Nishar for his dedication over the years, and wishes him all the best as he embarks on his future endeavors.

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.

The future of the website looks bright and most likely it is only going to get better. No matter who takes Deep Nishar's position, we can be sure that whatever choices that are made are done with the companies' best interests at heart.

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".
