Jeff Weiner (Ex-Yahoo) Lands At LinkedIn

Dec 17, 2008 at 8:00pm ET by Matt McGee

TechCrunch is reporting that former Yahoo Network chief Jeff Weiner is taking on the role of interim President at LinkedIn.

Weiner left Yahoo this summer and took an executive role at venture capital firms Accel Partners and Greylock Partners. He was one of Yahoo’s top executives, overseeing all of the company’s consumer-facing products.

Just last week, LinkedIn added Dipchand “Deep” Nishar from Google.

Weiner’s addition at LinkedIn is one of a couple management changes. TechCrunch says founder Reid Hoffman is retaking the CEO job, and current CEO Dan Nye will leave next month.
