I have done five things during my seven years at LinkedIn:1. Helped grow LinkedIn by nearly half a billion members and tens of billions of connections through a variety of Growth & Engagement strategies and products including Viral Growth, SEO, Onboarding, People You May Know, Email & Mobile notifications, Mobile App growth and Re-engagement. 2. Led LinkedIn's international expansion, including challenging markets like China, Germany and Japan. ~70% of LinkedIn's member base and engagement is from outside the US now.3. Built the Data products team at LinkedIn consolidating dispersed initiatives into a strategic team focused on making the most out of LinkedIn's data providing insights to employees and members as well as powering products like Search, Feed, Jobs You May Be Interested In, Recruiter, Talent Insights and more.4. Led the LinkedIn+Microsoft product integration strategy after Microsoft acquired LinkedIn, partnering closely with product leaders at both LinkedIn and Microsoft.5. The most important thing I did which made all of the above possible was hiring and mentoring a world-class product team. I scaled the team from a single PM (me) to 32 PMs (who in turn led cross-functional teams totaling 400 people) and hired country managers for China, Germany and Japan.
